Wetlands Park Post
Thank you for reading this week’s Wetlands Park post. Lots of pictures this week!
The Wetlands Park visit happened Monday. The winds, like today’s, made it too hard to fish. So I took a couple cameras and went for a walk, about two miles, and a little more.
It was Gatorama.
Surprise! There were lots of cars there when I got there- President’s Day. Didn’t bother the wildlife at all.
It was Gator-ama. And of course there were birds there. Saw a mudfish and some gar, no bass, although I’m sure they are there. Perfect place for them, protected from human predation.
Thursday afternoon, another blowy day, I visited the Econ on foot. Got one redbelly on a crappie jig. Then I lost that on some lumber. Tried the plastic shad and plastic worm, cast for about two hours, for a couple gar bites.
Friday afternoon I fished another section of the Econ, again it was blowy (it was blowy all week), and again I was on foot. Again tried the shad and the worm. Did not touch a fish.
So I put five hours or so into the Econ with a single redbelly to show for it. Not very good catching there.
Van update- wired the fans and the inside lights, and finished wiring the DC side of the distribution panel. Ran a wire from the battery to the DC-DC charger. The prediction, and goal, was to have the wiring completed by month’s end. It looks like that will happen. Hopefully nothing will catch fire when I flip the power switch to “ON”!
Thank you for reading this week’s Wetlands Park post!
Life is great and I love life!
Every day is a blessing. Don’t waste it- Go fishing! or walk on a trail!
