One reason I'm so excited to get moved back to the farm,
is how quick and easy it is to go fishing!
- Gather up our stuff and in just a few minutes we can be drowning worms.
Date: March 15th, 2018
Time: about 5PM
Location: northcentral, MO about 15 miles south of Iowa
Weather: 64F
- with a cold front moving in giving us rain the next day.
- a bit of wind, but not too bad as you can see in some of the pics...
Bait & Tackle:
- Wife, Sylvia decided to drown worms.
- Presentation: #6 hook about 3' below a bobber
- WizarDave used a Mepps Minnow.
- Presentation: Just reeling in fairly slow did the best.
- I did all the fancy jigging and such but mainly just a slow roll was better.
- Presentation: Just reeling in fairly slow did the best.
- Both using ultralight poles with 4# test
- We bought these for trout fishing at Lake Taneycomo near Branson...
Fishing report:
- Wife Sylvia = 2 bluegill
- WizarDave = 6 largemouth bass
- We fished about an hour,
so catching about 1 bass every 10 minutes.- Quite fun!
- We fished about an hour,
WizarDave's first bass of 2018
Sylvia's first fish of 2018
Abracadabra!
Proving my post was correct!
Where we are fishing
Note the clouds and slight ripple from the wind...
- On up the hill there is our (going left to right) garage, cellar house and house
- Up that draw in the middle of the pic kinda going to the left a bit, is where I have been successful hunting morel mushrooms and even a turkey once!

What to do with fish guts...
I don't normally harvest bass, but I know they are a bit overpopulated in this pond.
- so I harvested 3 of them for Friday's supper.
- I didn't think about it in time, or I would have kept those bluegill.
- You can see they are a bit overpopulated and stunted...

My other hobbies include gardening, so I did not want to waste this great fertilizer!
- Trixie supervised me planting my fish guts.
- Fish guts are high in nitrogen, bones = calcium,
- Abracadbra! later this year when it warms,
I will have 3 hills of zucchini right here!
