Apparently the reason they don't get very big is because they're so good at surviving, which, makes sense as Bullheads are Catfish and will eat and eat and grow, but if they over populate areas they end up fighting over the same food. I know some guys use them as live bait for Flatheads but I'm not so sure I could put a cute little Catfish on a hook alive lol.
Sometimes Mother Nature can be a bitch and just reminds you who’s boss . I’d say you’d be used to that as well .Left home, it was calm. Got to the lake, there was a light breeze. Inflated the boat, there were whitecaps.
Tried casting off the dock for a bit, hoping the wind would die but no such luck. Deflated and packed up the boat.
Drove over to scout a nearby lake I'd not visited and while there, watched fingerling trout jump and learned of a third lake that was only a few hundred yards away, from a county employee. I went in for a look. It's supposed to have good perch and is not well known. Going to go back in the winter and see if I can find them.
So I didn't do any fishing(other than casting off the dock for a few minutes), but added two new lakes to my list. I'll call that breaking even for the trip.
Picked up a few delphinium (pacific giant black knight) on my way home, planted them by the fence when I got here and then transplanted a young oak tree to finish off the useful part of my day.
Then I smoked weed and fucked around. :
Hey, good to see you. Hope you are all recovered and back to your normal self.
Yeah I’m mostly back to normal besides my ongoing mental issues ?.Hey, good to see you. Hope you are all recovered and back to your normal self.
It has actually been a very unusual winter and spring, weather wise. The winter was longer and colder with much more snow than normal. Spring was very late and has been very dry, and the mountain run-off hasn't even started yet. It's also been much more windy than normal for this region. All in all it's made for pretty rough fishing this spring.
Fingers crossed for a decent summer. Starting to feel like I kinda earned it.
Yeah well, we're used to that.
Oh jeez once upon a time it was only the Poms that reminded us of our convict heritage , usually after we beat them in sport .Yeah well, we're used to that.
As long as you are properly isolated on your island prison, it's all good.
Mate seriously I am chopping to travel again . It’s been too long and life is way too short .Summer hasn't actually started yet here so if you packed up your shit....
The offer is appreciated, but if I ever have to go on the lam I figure it'll be a bit easier to hide in this
You had to go and pick the only little patch of dirt in Oz that looks like that . Just around that corner is a rainforest .The offer is appreciated, but if I ever have to go on the lam I figure it'll be a bit easier to hide in this
than in this.
LOL.
I want nothing to do with either of your woods . You got like Grizzly bears and mountain lions and shit .We have woods too....
Out of curiosity, I just checked and you do indeed have more room down there than up here, but just barely.
I did kind of notice the last time I drive straight up through the middle to Alice Springs I didn’t see anyone for hours .
? don’t get me started on guns . You guys have more than guns . You all have like a small countries army arsenal in your garage .
Probably the main thing is you have to know the basic layout of the land and have a mental map with defined boundaries. For example, in a particular area, I will know that river A is to the west, Range Road X is to the south, Twp road W is to the north and there is a distinctive ridge to the east.
