Wow, the last day of 2021... Debbie was feeling better, so we decided to get out and do a little more fishing. Along with her improvement in health, this is additional medicine for her soul...she LOVES fishing :-) We set off to have a bit of breakfast at the Waffle House, then move on to the first stop. On the spur of the moment, we decided to make it at a private fish camp & pond we have access to that we call "Amos". Debbie set about and caught the first fish, a little black crappie. We were no longer skunked! We fished around the pond a bit, I picked up a bass that weighed 3lb 11oz. Here's a few pics...

Below are a couple of funny pics I took of photos on the walls of the fish camp house. These have been a round a long time, and are family friends of the owner who caught some large carp in that pond in days gone by....
Next, we moved on to the #2 spot for the day, another private pond we call "Browns". The Brown family are gracious to allow us to fish in their private pond. There are lots of bass in there, and are well fed. We've caught some monsters in there in previous years. I got skunked, but as usual, Debbie snatched a few in with her favorite 5" Yum Dinger stick bait. Here's a few pics of some of them...
After a bit, we decided to hit one more spot and call it a day. Since we were close to another private spot we called "Dale's", that's where we went. There was a good bit of movement there, and we caught several nice bass to finish out the day...and did something we've never done, but more on that shortly...
Now, this made for a good story... There was some movement down near one of the very STEEP bank sides. Debbie wanted to get down there, and since we didn't have the Jon boat, it wasn't gonna be easy. We took a rope from the truck and tied it to her, I wrapped it around a tree for a brake, and lowered her down to a spot she could sit and fish, and tied her to the tree so she wouldn't fall in. She would catch, swing them around, and I'd take them off. Next time we'll use the boat, but it worked and she was a happy girl! Here's those pics...
