Miles caught a nice little bass


Kept just enough for a meal...think we got about 40 bluegill total. Was a good night for fishing with a kid.
Wasn't with out incident...plug fouled on the snowmobile. Had a spare on me last night forgot it today. So I was lucky that even though it's a total different plug. I took the one out of my ice auger and spin it in finger tight and got it to start. Thank God it's electric start I never could have pull started it.

Sounds like overall you had a good day!

You have the spaces between the rafters screened, I hope?

Nope. It has a plywood ceiling in it.

The ends are left open so there's airflow between the tin and ceiling...

Thank you, M'Lady! There's about 1/4 acre of trees covered in English Ivy behind the coop. It's weird... it's the only place like it anywhere around these parts! It's pretty cool!!!
