Yeah, I can see a lot of guys heading to a chiropractor in their future…. Constantly looking down at the screen looking for the next target….

The house where we stayed at Ocean Isle NC last week had a small pond off the back yard. For about 10-15 minutes a day I'd sneak out and chase bass or bluegill. The bass ate deer hair divers well, the bluegill were surprisingly finicky.
There was a lot of time killed by Ty and his cousins on the bank and in the water. Somehow he managed to drop the handle of his old blue open face reel into the water, so he had to hand reel in the bass. He's shown his passion is true so I took him to the local ma n pop bait store and got him a nice combo.

My wife and I will be going up 2 weeks and I would like some perch!

Been tying a lot of flies lately, not sure why that bug bit me but it’s nice to be back in the saddle. With fresh tied flies comes testing them on fish. No giants but fishing has sucked for me lately so I’ll take what I can get lol.
This time of year that stretch of the portage I've talked about is good. Always some hungry fish in that stretch with those slim covered pickerel as well.

Took a drive yesterday to a "local" smallie stream. Man, I've never seen the water so low there. Very little flow and gin clear water. I was breaking in a new lid a buddy gifted me. It's always important to determine the level of fishing juju a new hat contains. This one's pretty good.
There was no shortage of fish. If you found a little depth and some cover, they were there. They ran a little small, but still feisty. Brown bass will ruin a man.
Most good runs I pulled multiple fish from. This one little plunge produced 4 smallies in 5 or 6 casts.
We always look for beach glass along the coast and at Lake Erie, but creeks is where it's at. I wasn't even looking for this, it's what I about stepped on walking a gravel bar. Clear and green glass along with some ceramic.
As usual, this was the main producer.

I took the day off yesterday to hit a small stream for smallmouth. The bite started a little slow but picked up, lots of smaller fish then a bigger bass towards the end of the day.
I also found a really nice dead buck along a gravel bar. No obvious visible injuries. Is EHD hitting SE Ohio again?

Looks like a good fishing trip
But I sure hate to see the dead deer

I hate to see the dead deer and certainly hope ehd does not return on that scale again for some time!
Mason and I went to Lake Erie yesterday. Haven’t been there since we sold the camper. Still a good fishing hole.

Spent a few days up norf with Eli. I was more looking to catch brown trout that were eating king eggs, but with the water being record breakingly low and clear the trout were on edge and skittish AF. Few salmon and trout to hand otherwise. Food was good and the beers were cold, I ain’t complaining.
That ice on the bedrail got the juices flowing! Fall is coming!!!
