Hey guys,
It's been way too long. I have been really busy putting in my first ever food plot. After killing the weeds, plowing, disking, raking, fertilizing, and planting, it turns out to be a ton of work. Hopefully it will all pay off in the fall. I planted about 1/2 an acre of Brassicas. They are starting to come up (about 2" high). Sadly there is some grass with them, but I think they will outgrow the grass and shade it to death in the summer (hopefully). My apples trees look great after all the pruning my dad and I did this winter. They are already loaded with apples. Jocelyn and I found a Turkey Nest and a newborn fawn (with neighbor Chris L's help). Check out the cool pictures. Both pictures are from mid April. Kind of early for both turkey eggs and a fawn if you ask me. Anyway, fishing has been ok. I had a couple of decent days for bass on Silver, but nothing amazing. The annual Memorial Day camping trip was at Keuka this year. It was fun, but there weren't many fish biting. Nate caught one 30" pike, but that was all worth mentioning. So Jocelyn and I decided to make it the annual Memorial Day Finger Lake Wine tour and fishing camping trip. Hit a couple great wineries and have a case of wine to show for it. Overall a great weekend. Summer is coming!!! Can't wait to hit the Silver Lake Bass and catch some summer Salmon with Scott. Catch you all soon.
