Did a little fish after work. Yay!

A bluegill fish from west Waushacum pond

A bluegill fish from west Waushacum pond. This one was so small that I didn’t think that I had anything on my line.

I’m decorated for the season. Pumpkin blanket, a wine glass that says Here for the Boos, and two kitty pumpkin beds.

Another bluegill fish from little pond on my way home. There were two or three more but they look the same.

I haven’t been posting all of my little fishies recently. Mostly because they’re all bluegills of various small sizes. Caught about a half dozen yesterday after work for a quick stress relief session.

Seriously one of the cutest six spotted fishing spiders I’ve ever seen!

I met a fishing spider today!!! This guy was about 2-2.5” diameter. Sadly missing a leg but he was happily chilling with me.

A closer look at the fishing spider. He had no tips for me, sadly.

It’s a meee!

A rainbow trout!

The rainbow trout is 16.5” long.

The surprised trout was 1 pound 2 ounces long.

A 6.5” bluegill.

Caught a beautiful fish today!

A black crappie being held by me. I am sunburnt all to heck. Also I’m standing in front of the rail trail bridge.

New species for me today! I caught a black crappie! And about 9 bluegills.

A picture of Minutemen airfield. It’s a clear sky and a great day for flying.

The little free library at Minuteman. Snoopy and Woodstock sit atop the red library box, about to take flight.

A view from brunch window of the runway. A lot of small prop planes were taking off and landing.

Tough to see, but next to the tower are 4 planes flying in formation over the airport.

Went for brunch somewhere new!

A largemouth bass on a measuring mat. It was 11.5”.

The same largemouth bass as I’m trying to free it from my hook.

A pretty bluegill.

Another pretty bluegill.

One largemouth and too many bluegills today to count. (Actually there were 10.)

The sunset over the Quag. I was fishing blind.

A crayfish was lost trying to get back to the water.

The moonrise over West Waushacum pond.

Where I fished are two ponds, so I got to watch the sunset and then see the moonrise.

Saved my skunk by catching some bluegills.

An official highway sign proclaiming: Bear crossing, next 1 mile. How do they prevent the bears from crossing beyond that one mile stretch?

A sign for tasty butts BBQ. Hope this place isn’t next door to the cigarette factory.

The signage up here is hands down the best.

It’s not a very subtle hint. It’s Vermont. This is a gallon jug of Vermont maple syrup by Valee Farm. One gallon. Wow.

Where was I? Here’s a hint.

A beautiful spider in her web surrounded by a tasty caterpillar meal.

View of a lake on a sunny day. There are docks and boats and a dirt road.

Went for a drive this weekend.

Another yellow perch held with my lip grippers. He would like to be released, thank you very much.

A yellow perch on a spinner bait laying on my measuring mat. This one is about 8 inches long. All of the fish were between 7-10” today.

Today was yellow perch day! I caught 5 of these little guys and watched turtles. The turtles watched me back.

A group of handdrawn fish.

Why I 🧡 the web.

Just draw the fish. Trust me. 🐟

Watched the sunset over the reservoir. Sky was turning pink at the horizon. There was a light breeze rippling across the water and it was much cooler than home. Didn’t catch anything but relaxing feelings.

Last night.

Same.

A town sign in Massachusetts that says “Entering Dunkin’” and “Inc. 1683” on mile marker 17.770. This is a one day stunt to promote a very large Dunkin’ opening in the town today. Yes, I did stop for an iced coffee because I am a naturalized Masshole.

Well, the corporate takeover of America is moving faster than I expected.

Oh no, Ben!
