If the rain holds off, we’ll take the fishing boat out Saturday for some striper bass fishing at Ha Ha Tonka. There is a large spring in this Missouri state park that keeps these fish in the area year round.
All we have left growing wise is the garlic, planted three weeks ago. it is up and green. I have a bail of straw that I plan to use as a cover.
Our neighbors bailed out for Florida. They send short notes beginning with “78 degrees and sunny here...”
I love fishing. We fish for smallmouth bass, catch and release here the majority of the time, although we do like having trout for dinner. Usually, though, we like the fun of fishing for bass. We take our dogs out on the boat with us.
I miss those days. Our dogs got old, and it’s been between four and five years since we went fishing. I envy you!
Mrs. Augie and I have a long weekend at Big Cedar scheduled in mid-February. We’ll hit Taneycomo while we’re there and see if there are any trout that want to come out and play.
