             After 3 ½ hours in the Drs. Office I felt like a cell phone in a teenagers hand, he punched all my buttons.

            Three out of the four days this week we have had “Near Full Pool Readings”.  That hasn’t happened in a long time.

            After laying down to take our after dinner nap, Miss Joyce & me dropped off into a deep sleep.  I drempt that I was wadding a creek, frog giggin suddenly old ber gator up and bit my gig handle in two and then jerked the rest of the handle out of the way and come at me.  I was hittin his nose with my fist when Miss Joyce woke me up.  I was pounding her hand as the gators mouth.  Cold sweat I was in as I woke up.  As I say, “Gitten old requires stamina.”

            Many deer hunter say they have seen more deer this year than ever before.  There has been a lot of deer killed by cars and trucks on Hwy. 97 this year.

            Media Bass will be launching out of Wingate’s this Saterday and next Saterday will be Fishermen for the Hungry.  Then the Stren Series will start out of the Boat Basin in Bainbridge the following Friday.

            The very best catch of Bass made was 4 Bass at 19 lbs.  A lot of Bass Fishermen are testing the waters now for the “Stren Series”, but things will change by the time they get here.  There could very well be bedding Bass in some places.

            Perch again has been taken in limit numbers this week.  We think they are moving to shallow water to bed.  A couple of limits were taken in 4 ft. of water. 

            Duck Hunters are having a good season on Ringnecks, BluBills and Woodys but still no one has come up with a way to get to the Big Ducks, Canvasbacks and Pintails.  They will get up and fly way up 500 ft. and come down in your boat wake.
