As of 7 am this past Sunday official winter set in and from the looks of west coast, mid-west, Ohio valley and New England it has set in to stay awhile. I remind you again the water off the Calif. Coast is colder than its been in twenty years.
This past Saterday at 10 min. to 11 am a big bald eagle pitched into the tall hickory tree over my house about 10 seconds went on out over the lake to catch his lunch, any native American would call that a “blessing.”
Now for an update on the apple snail, they are gaining ground, little wads of pink eggs are growing rapidly. My hope is the small aligaters don’t take a liking to them.
Now the GA D.N.R. liscene comissioner after filing on my 2 boats for liscenes on 11-10-08 the one on my ganue came with in one week but the one my red Ranger still has not come, my next door neighbor Wayne Barwick filed in May 08 and has not got his yet. That is just plain “sorry.”
Last Monday before day lite 3 people saw a black bear cross the junction of Cool Springs Road and Highway 97. Think that odd, a deer hunter near La Grange, GA killed a Fla. Cougar from his deer stand? What’s he doing that far north?
Our own Hydrilla Gnat's, Andy Koundourakis, Mike Prindle and Paul Tyre have been growing their hair out for the last year and a half. They shaved their heads yesterday to donate that hair to Locks of Love. What a great effort on their part to put up with that long hair for that long, but some lucky kids will get that hair for a wig because they can't grow any.
Our good friend, retired Marine, Scott Kerslake, who winters with us here was down in Gainesville visiting his mom and while he was down there, he tested the waters at Rodman Dam and caught a 10 lbs. 12 oz. Bass on a Gambler Ugly Otter. We are right proud of him.
We ain’t sed much about the fishen, well its because we ain’t had much fishen, the Flint crested at flood stage (25.3ft) Thursday and the Spring Creek crest at 252 Bridge (at 17.4 ft). The only thing that is still bitten is the jack fish. There has been a lots of them taken on spinner baits, they do seem to like a spinner, only one catch of perch was made on jigs. We wish all a Mary Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year, you will if you go with God.
