Bluegills are my favorite, but perch are an awful close second.Love perch. Might be the best tasting of all freshwater, non-salmonid fish.

Warmer here this week too.That was my best walleye fishing spot. Fished there for 30 years and before yesterday I had never been skunked. First time for everything I guess.
We are at -8 right now and this could potentially be the last subzero night of the winter. Our lowest low in the ten day forecast is 18.
Warmer here this week too.
Today they are saying a high of 29(even though it's 31 out now lol), then the rest of the week is high 30's to mid 40's .
Gonna haul some smaller splits in so it's easier to maintain the stove at a lower temp/to start it when I let it go out. I should have quite a bit left over in this years side of the wood shed. I'll check the splitting are to see how wet it is today, splitting to commence sometime in the near future, hope to get a lot done before the heavy spring rains.
I just tapped mine too. Well most anyways a few had 4 ft drifts around them . So 10 out of the 15 I normally do ,in the second pick the other holes are from sapsuckersMarch is coming quickly and the weather is warmer so I tapped some of our maple's today. Our wood processing area is turning into a mud pit, another good sign of spring. I still have over 5 cord in the wood shed and more just tossed into a pile, thats a good start for next year.
I was just thinking about popping the topper off my plow truck and putting on the back rack from my old plow truck.19* here it athe moment with a strong NW wind. It's a cold sob today, but it's supposed to warm back up in a couple days. No snow to speak of on the horizon, so it's time to go topless. I will leave the snow tires on for a couple more weeks however, just in case.

Hey Jay, I thought you had pipes up the side of that thing .19* here it athe moment with a strong NW wind. It's a cold sob today, but it's supposed to warm back up in a couple days.

I bet it will be pretty mucky down there. Maybe in the morning tomorrow you could snag something, but looking at the forecast it's gonna be a while.Good luck. I'm hoping I can get down in the woods soon to get this one ash log bucked/split, and maybe skid a few more logs over. But, either the ground will need to freeze again (doubtful), or we we need it to be dry until about mid April (finger crossed).
not sure what is the best tasting fish, lol but imo... crappie are some of them. and yes to bluegill, perch and salmon...Bluegills are my favorite, but perch are an awful close second.
Saw the photo and thought this was another 'firewood cutting rack' / 'bucking table' post!scrounged up some good wood other day. just too hard to pass it up. only couple hses down the street! out on curb. ez haul in... not exactly sure what i will use it for, maybe another firewood pile rack... or a new base for Mr Brutus... maybe landscape border. wood was a tree house... couple loads of it.

Seems to be warming up here to, or at least the constant rain and grey has gone and we've had some good dry and sunny weather, yay!! My swamp of a rear garden has even dried enough that I can walk on it a little without totally wrecking it. So I spent some time Saturday stacking the oak I've split, probably stacked 2/3rds which was about 1/3 of a cord. The better weather and lighter evenings have really improved my mood, this winter had been a mental **** turd, covid bites in many ways. I'm so glad spring is clearly coming.Warmer here this week too.
