This is a just nuts construction project. All that for installing a turn lane from the north bound side when the problem always has been cars pulling out from the side road into the path of oncoming on the main route. The turn lane will solve little if any. Should have taken a day or two and hung a sensored stop light. There are stop lights in either direction of the intersection so it's not like there aren't any more in the area. To the east of the highway it is very rural/wooded very fast so there isn't many roads like there are to the west in the grid layout of the typical farmland so fewer options to the east side. But I'm scouting back roads and seeing if any _might_ be less a pain. lol

Saugeye is good eating. Like I said, we used to keep a few here or there. Slowly got away from it. Don't really know why. No special reason for sure.

How have you been? Yeah, told her, "no pressure but you need to catch some." lol And Thank You!

It does take on a little different hue in brighter light, sunlight so it may well fit the description of pink. ;)

Yes. We're a little astounded at this too. lol. We're looking at something like that.

Yes! Thank You! I am not the only one who thinks so. :)

Thank You brother.

Can't wait to get it there. But they're coming. 🚣

We're not allergic to rain. If we are out and it starts no problem. Have ponchos and stuff. Been there done that many times. It's awful hard to go when it's already raining. lol. We've had so much so far this spring all the waters are up and cruddy. And still cold, everyone we know who has and is actively fishing says the bite isn't really on yet. I am so anxious for it to break and true summer conditions set in. At least dry anyway.

This is a small patch just for some fresh "homegrown" tomatoes and peppers. And the joy of bringing something along to fruition. And yes, there is something about that.

Thank You!

Oh lord I am not fond of them at all. And neither is our Abby as you could tell. The video went silent and abruptly ended/edited out when I discovered I was actually standing on it's head/neck area. The following reactions was not suitable for human consumption. lol. A check a little later showed it had deceased from that standing on it as it's head was crushed. Good! We remember a video or two of yours where your Abby was along camping.

@@tinyboatfishing1 haha, justice.

There is a section and a half, but will do the 2 whole sections to make it "official" down there. I was saving them long ago to cap off my section hikes. And then life. Then it gets pushed back, you know how that can go. This year isn't looking very promising but without fail next year at the latest it will be done! By then. Even late fall-off peak season is a possibility. ;) We have the appropriate gear for colder weather. I've spent this winter pouring over trail maps and topo maps till I won't need any when the time comes and I'm anxious to do it and with todays tech come back with good picture and video memories.

@@tinyboatfishing1 will be an epic trip!

We're down to 4 tents now. I gave our son one of the bigger ones we had. A green and tan colored one. Perfect for the young family he has starting out now. We hope to have some more tents/camping vids soon. Well, soon as our current monsoon season ends anyway.

I have been two other times, the abruptly short saugeye trip. That was UNplanned short. Myself and two friends caught a catfish each when fishing for saugeye alone. The rest of the time was spent all huddled together with our backs into the wind trying to avoid frostbite. Wasn't much to video lol. Sonya and I took the granddaughter on the eclipse day and I caught 2 bluegills and let the grand reel them in so officially to her they were "her" catches. This being our first time out where we both had nothing but fishing to do was a great day. It seems the weather has Finally broke and looking forward to hitting it regular now. I'm glad her season started with that bass for a change.

I was stunned at what she had stashed away. Obviously I knew of and/or participated in her acquiring it over the years but had lost track of everything she did have. lol. She, we, don't hit a store with fishing gear that we don't at least browse. And yes, she takes great pride in some of them. ;)

We have always tended to lean on the undeveloped lakes for this reason as well. The hills, woods, seclusion, peace and quiet to enjoy the whole package. The insect sounds in the video is typical summer sounds that we recorded and to me they are most relaxing. We have the famous Buckeye Lake 10 or 12 miles away, 1/3rd closer than our usual go-to Rush Creek. Pass it by as it's Way to busy and near every foot of shoreline is developed into lakeside houses. Many trips over the years long before and after our dabbling with youtube there would many times I couldn't be bothered to bait a hook. Living the moments were far more rewarding. Sonya and I had conversed early on in our channel time, that we really didn't have a hard core "dedicated" fishing only channel and that was fine. There had to be some others out there that pursued and done the things we do. If we goof off and walk the woods a little, that's fine. If we anchored in the shade and kicked back for however long, fine. If we caught some fish, that's fine and if we didn't, that's just fine too. lol. The total package is what we enjoy. And accept our belated condolences for you late wife. We hit 40 years last December and are reluctantly starting to get to the point or age one of us will go someday and both find that unimaginable.

Looking to freshen things up a bit.

We never got flooded at home but marooned in or out when it came up. These were regular events. Regular enough anyway to where one certainly doesn't miss that aspect.

She says Thank You!

She asked to pass on her Thank You!

Yes it is wild you are more than right. I heard it was over at Manning and Everette earlier and all around Owens Corning. 13 south before crossing the bridge before the Moose Club in front of the Circle K was under water and probably still is. I dug around and found other older vids of people kayaking the Licking in normal times to see a reminder how high those bridges like you mentioned are and the water just under or touching the decks now. Heath PD and FD just finished evacuating their section of Licking View Drive along the river down there in their territory. Lot of rain. Fortunately we missed the terrible storms and tornadoes that hit more south of us. And calling for rain the next couple of days.

And we hope you and your family had a Wonderful Easter also! I'm a little leery of spending _too_ much on a camera. While we don't 'abuse' them, they seem to get ran thru their paces lol. Clamp mount pop loose and camera tumbles... sudden unexpected rain showers... ;) God Bless!

Thank you. Sorry about the delayed response. We don't get comment alerts for some reason. Their shenanigans are getting worse year by year. Time to have some accountability. And yes we plan on being there frequently and by all means say hello and wet a line with us!

Like you, trying to get this health thing back on track after slacking off for a year. Hotdogs are by far not the healthiest thing around but everyone was in the mood for hotdogs, home made sauce and slaw. But a "free day" here and there never hurts. Much anyway. ;) Done some off camera checks of the boat, trailer bearings, lubed the winch, hitch latch and so on. Minor pesky necessary things. The day passed too quick for much else. But yes, a fun day for us.

I admire you kayak fishers. Really do. If I could swim or even reasonably so I'd give it a try. Anyone who lands fish and keep it upright is fine by me. lol. With that I'm not afraid of the water but also recognize I WILL flip it sooner or later. We do not mind kayaks in the least. Please don't think we do but we've had a couple experiences with kayaks with no lights well after dark that was well, frightening. After dark we never move about the water above idle speed or trolling motor only. Last year(?) we had an unlit kayak cross in front of us with no lights and it was way too close for comfort. Just a shadow of something moving in front of us. Killed the power and lit it up and it was a Pi**ed of kayaker yelling because we almost ran him over. We exchanged "pleasantries" and went on about our separate ways. But yeah, we want to keep watching your vids so keep yourself safe and if you 'yak after dark, light her up. ;)

We're both biting at the bit to get out this year. Last year was so late in starting. 50s and 60s temps and rain every other day all spring last year got us out late. I, (ken) DID get lines wet and caught a catfish already on that saugeye trip. Real short not much to it video. Sun set and it was pitch dark fast. Most of that trip was huddled up, backs to the wind, bundled up trying to figure out between us what were we thinking going out that day. Hoping to get that first joint fishing vid out asap!

My late wife and I caught plenty of saugeye at Clendening and Piedmont. Most productive bait was always a live ribbon leech on a plain rounhead jig, 1/4 or 1/8 oz.@@tinyboatfishing1

I tell her if we stop acting young, we'll stop being young. I'm a major onion ring fan and I have never seen rings this big anywhere. Whatever batter they use is also over the top on flavor.

No it's not for the feint of heart at all bro. Not at all. All is good with the heart. A little diagnostic and existing stent maintenance was past due and needed. Those rings tho. Wow! They had a fantastic batter on them too. I skipped the meal, too soon after sedation, wasn't feeling just kosher yet but snacked on a couple of her rings. lol. I'ma gonna go get some of my own here very soon. lol.

I've got near the full line of the Rebel crawdads and the bumble bee finally but haven't caught anything on him yet. I don't know why it's taken so long to get the grasshopper? Fishing the pond growing up had to walk thru our hayfield to get to it, caught grasshoppers in the field on the way to use as bait. They seemed to do ok if memory serves correct. Granted a farm pond is a little different than a lake. But I kinda like the Rebel line of lures in general. They seem to offer lures that's a little different in patterns and colors in hard baits.

65 is our magic number here for free lifetime permits. These aren't bad- so far, only $5 each. These lakes/ponds are decent fishing. One can go wet lines and catch Something without having to mount a big expedition somewhere. Head up the road a couple miles and the lines are wet. No real traveling or getting ready to go somewhere farther. Thanks for watching!!!

I, Ken, haven't seen or familiar with the ringworm. But never been a big artificial guy either. Going to have to keep the blade bait in mind for the fall saugeye here. I'm pretty bent on catching one or more now. It's become a pursuit. lol. And yes, feeling better. Just an off day I guess.

Thanks! Am better. Too much good food and then riding in a backseat on top of it I guess.

We're looking to change ours up a bit, something fresh for this year. Different pics, make it a little shorter. We didn't put the intro on some vids of the past and promptly heard about it so we keep doing one. lol.

It was a big ending. lol. She blushed and said thanks!

This is probably the most snow we've had at one time in a couple years or so. Overall this has been a very mild winter both snow and temps thankfully. But just wet enough and cold enough to make it miserable and mud. Prior to this cover frame I had a 12 foot 2x6 with metal straps that locked into tabs inside the boat that kept the board elevated and the cover pitched. It worked well. That board went the way of the dodo and faced with making a new- and much lighter- frame. And at that time also had a nice big garage for winter storage. After we got done putting this pvc frame together was leaning on the boat looking at it and it occurred to me I really could have went with bigger diameter if I had thought about it.
