Late May fishing

Late

Trip to the river Thursday May 14...no line cast as my ignition switch was faulty.  Had to take flywheel cover off and pull start.  Talked with guy who fishes alot and he said all he uses is cranks.  Levels seemed ideal..very bummed we could not fish though reports were no walleye from passing boats. 

May 15: Phil's childhood lake produced 3 eyes in the 14-16" range.  Off the point on the spot.  13' of water. 

May 23: Seis mille: 6 little walleyes on NW side of lake.  Some reports of bigger fish, but none for us. 

May 23rd evening:  Fish Phil's childhood lake.  Phil was one the point with his dad James.   They did better than us.  We caught one @ 15.5".  They probably got 6 eyes, 3 of which were over 22".  14' of water.  Being on the point seemed critical.

May 25th: Went to Ron and Paula's lake.  Reports of the day before included fast and furious bite on break at 13' right out in front of Ron's place.  We got there at 400 pm the next day, struggled with wife and kids, but Julianne caught her first walleye.  Then we got rained out.

May 27th: My home town lake on North end.  Lilacs in full bloom.  Crappies sitting on beds, some sitting near dropped kinda like they're staging up.  John Watkins and I caught 20 in the 9-11" range.

Home Schooling 2020


 Day trip to The Lost 40 for Mother's Day


 Succer spearing was kind of a bust.  Went three times too early and one time too late.  Speared a few on the Deer at our property.

2019 Winter and 2020 Spring


Pheasant hunting with the McNeils when Jadon was home over Christmas break.  Had an awesome day with Suzie the spring spaniel. 


Another basketball photo I found.  Girls placed second or first in their last 4 tournaments. 







Spring beaver produced four beaver and a couple incidental rats. 



UPS man came with goodies for both the kids.  The peeps came as a response to Josie's letter of concern re the misplacement of the Peep's eyes.

 Boat all cherried up for first ride of 2020.  New equipment including on-board charger and motorguide wireless.

Very cold day during the parade.  Jadon carried the Florida flag.  

San Antonio Trip was awesome.  Watching Jadon do so well out on his own made us all very proud.   





Josie had an awesome season.  Her passion and intensity grew every game.  She became a lock-down defender.  It was a very fun season with a great group of kids.  They improved significantly from the beginning to the end.   


Shane's 10" perch.  Very fun day including crappies, a bunch of gills and a bass.
