He Caught Fish!

In yesterday's post showing Crow's Pond I promised if John caught fish, I would take pictures. He caught some! He spent about 90 minutes standing on shore using Night Crawlers as bait and a quarter ounce lead weight. He says he kept his fishing rod in his hands the entire time instead of propping it to stand on its own and used a Shakespeare "Ugly Stick" purchased from Walmart. He caught three White Perch, three Yellow Perch, and one Small Mouth Bass.

Here are the photos..... And I must add, they taste delicious! I told John he might have to go fishing again next week and stay longer..!

Spring Photos ....... Spring Has Finally Arrived!!

Spring has finally arrived here in the Foothills of Maine! It certainly took long enough!! Trees are fully loaded with the most luscious light-green leaves! I love it! It is my favorite time of the year! If we could only keep Spring for nine months instead of three; then have Fall jump in for three months, life would be closer to paradise on the planet!

I accompanied John (my Heart-Mate) to the barbershop today where he learned of a new promising place to fish for Perch from Jack, his barber. After returning from a jaunt to Augusta to try out Red Robin Gourmet Burgers (by the way, it was fun and absolutely delicious), John and I found Jack's fishing recommendation in Farmington Falls. It is Crow's Pond. John is returning tomorrow with worms and his "Ugly Stick" fishing pole to try his luck. I'm staying home to knit......! Black flies are not my 'thing.' I can't stand the pests!! If John is successful, I will post a photo or two.

In the meantime; here are some photos I took from the shores of Crow's Pond.

This photo was taken of the bottom of the pond. I 'enhanced' the colors of the leaves so you could see them better.

Here is John; my Heart Mate...........

These last two photos were taken of a small dam in my town
