It’s a meee!
I met a fishing spider today!!! This guy was about 2-2.5” diameter. Sadly missing a leg but he was happily chilling with me. A closer look at the fishing spider. He had no tips for me, sadly.

Had a great visit with my family this weekend.
The Insy Spider and her sister with a dapper pumpkin head fellow at Nora Lee’s in Old New Castle. Dad’s house, so spoopy! Dad chilling by the fire table. Read House gate in Old New Castle overlooking the Delaware River by moonlight.

Did a little fish after work. Yay!
A hungry largemouth bass that has some regrets and a sore lip. The bass on a digital fish scale registering 1 pound 3 ounces. The bass on a measuring mat and coming in at 15.5 inches. The fishing person and the sore lipped bass.

Last weekend fish and some homemade pumpkin pie with homemade pumpkin pecan ice cream.
A bluegill fish from west Waushacum pond A bluegill fish from west Waushacum pond. This one was so small that I didn’t think that I had anything on my line. I’m decorated for the season. Pumpkin blanket, a wine glass that says Here for the Boos, and two kitty pumpkin beds. Pumpkin pie with pumpkin pecan ice cream- all homemade by me!

I haven’t been posting all of my little fishies recently. Mostly because they’re all bluegills of various small sizes. Caught about a half dozen yesterday after work for a quick stress relief session.
A pumpkin seed fish. So pretty! A bluegill fish from little pond on my way home. Another bluegill fish from little pond on my way home. Another bluegill fish from little pond on my way home. There were two or three more but they look the same.

New species for me today! I caught a black crappie! And about 9 bluegills.
A bluegill caught with a live worm. A different bluegill caught with a live worm. A bigger bluegill caught with Berkeley softbait minnows. A black crappie being held by me. I am sunburnt all to heck. Also I’m standing in front of the rail trail bridge.

Went for brunch somewhere new!
A picture of Minutemen airfield. It’s a clear sky and a great day for flying. The little free library at Minuteman. Snoopy and Woodstock sit atop the red library box, about to take flight. A view from brunch window of the runway. A lot of small prop planes were taking off and landing. Tough to see, but next to the tower are 4 planes flying in formation over the airport.

One largemouth and too many bluegills today to count. (Actually there were 10.)
A largemouth bass on a measuring mat. It was 11.5”. The same largemouth bass as I’m trying to free it from my hook. A pretty bluegill. Another pretty bluegill.

Where I fished are two ponds, so I got to watch the sunset and then see the moonrise.
The sunset over the Quag. I was fishing blind. A crayfish was lost trying to get back to the water. The moonrise over West Waushacum pond.

Saved my skunk by catching some bluegills.
An Insy holding up a bluegill. Another bluegill. Three bluegills today! A view from the shore of the pond. I lost 3 bass in these weeds before I gave up and switched to bluegill lures.

The signage up here is hands down the best.
An official highway sign proclaiming: Bear crossing, next 1 mile. How do they prevent the bears from crossing beyond that one mile stretch? A sign for tasty butts BBQ. Hope this place isn’t next door to the cigarette factory.

Where was I? Here’s a hint.
It’s not a very subtle hint. It’s Vermont. This is a gallon jug of Vermont maple syrup by Valee Farm. One gallon. Wow.

Went for a drive this weekend.
A beautiful spider in her web surrounded by a tasty caterpillar meal. View of a lake on a sunny day. There are docks and boats and a dirt road. Some very blue hydrangea flowers. Another view of a wildlife sanctuary from a large backyard on a sunny day.

Fish cookie Friday!
A sugar cookie in the shape of a fish, sprinkled with green and pink sugar crystals. It was delicious.

Today was yellow perch day! I caught 5 of these little guys and watched turtles. The turtles watched me back.
A yellow perch on a hook with a worm for bait. Fins are out! Another yellow perch on a spinner bait with a treble hook and a tiny rubber trout lure. Another yellow perch held with my lip grippers. He would like to be released, thank you very much. A yellow perch on a spinner bait laying on my measuring mat. This one is about 8 inches long. All of the fish were between 7-10” today.
