Yep, nice stringer there. I can get the same results quite easily...all I have to do is put my head under the water, wait for a few moments and then amazingly fish just float to the top from being scared to death

It's more fun in a boat of course as it don't work too well from shore

Here is their secret !! SSHHHHHH don't tell to many people. This works both for ice fishing and summer fishing !!!

Believe it or not the bait is to use a fresh pea out of the pod. We go to the garden and pick half a basket full. The newer young ones are best.

Once at your location, pop the peas out of the pods. Get ready cause they love them and you have to be quick !

Have your net ready. (With ice fishing it is a bit harder but can be done)

Toss a few peas either just outside of your boat within your nets reach or off your pier within your nets reach. Like I said Ice fishing is a bit harder. You may want to drill the biggest hole you can.


Shouldn't take to long once you've tossed the peas, Get ready .................................................................................

When the fish comes up to "TAKE A PEE" Net them !!!!

Serving suggestions, Pan Fry with a side of cole slaw, french fries and creamed peas !!!!!

Ok now I have to get something done around here !!!

Peas? Now that's a new one. Sounds like a good survival method...will have to remember peas

Thought I would share a few more pictures while I sit down for a little lunch.

Here is my 17 yr old nephew plowing snow at the cabin with my Dads Case tractor. My Dad bought that one new years ago but he collected them (Mom called it junk since his back yard was full of old Case tractors he used for parts) He worked at JI CASE Co so at least he had an excuse for his addiction to tractors !!

Here is a picture of my Nephew again on my Dads Diablo snow mobile. We have tons of memories with this old Diablo!! It hasn't run for years. My nieces husband and Nephew in the picture got it running last weekend. My Dad would be so proud !! Hope they bring it ice fishing when they come up in February !!! I wanna ride on it !!

Ok saving the best for last !!! I got a kick out of this. I'm friends with a fellow BYCr from MI and he had this on facebook !! I want the hat !!

Maybe that kid is my long lost son !!!

Where's the ATV ????

My big trip to Downsville is tomorrow to deliver 3 of my roosters to somebody! I'm so happy to get rid of them. Now I have only 3 left and they'll probably end up being butchered if nobody wants them by this weekend.

I'm meeting a guy in Stillwater on Saturday with another one. I just got off the phone with him! 2 left. Yippee!

Heres the latest picture of Taffy. I think I'll breed her with my gray drake who is good quality. There should be a lot of blue fawn ducklings out of that breeding.

FT - Those are some pretty neat pics! That Diablo snow machine is the "HEAT." Is it still running????

Didn't get to town today. A buddy stopped over with some 1" casings that I have been looking for. He also brought over some venison and pork he wanted me to grind up for him.... Well, we ended up making hot dogs...LOL We did the boil/steam method. It'll be interesting to see how they taste.

He just left - The grinder and stuffer all cleaned up. We boiled/steamed them in my BIG ol' Nesco Turkey Roaster (three batches). I set it up on the table saw in the COLD garage - boy did it ever smell good!!! ... We did grind, mix and stuff in the basement - so at least that was a warm process. They are hanging in the basement to dry out right now.

I'll give them a couple of hours to dry out nice, wrap them in news paper and let'm lay out in the garage for the night. Tomorrow morn, I'll bag them up by the dozen and seal them in gallon freezer bags.

I guess I'll head into town tomorrow - - Gotta go there anyway - I'm getting my ear's lowered at 11:30. I'll do all my shopping before I go the the "Beauty shop." I'll change out the flue on the garage wood stove with a fancy haircut...

I'm tempted to light the grill and try a couple of these sausages/hotdogs....

I'll keep you posted!
