Already got about 400 Perch and smallest in pics is 9". Did Fish Fry at American Legion for friends and vets and will do VFW tomorrow. Fish are biting like crazy and what else do you do up here in the Adirondacks.   Saturday, February 3 View Page They all look big without a comparison! Hope the bucket shows up in this pic!!   Sunday, March 24 View Page Why my start date is May 25th....only 2'!!   Saturday, April 20 View Page Perch and Lake Trout will have a little break coming up. Over a 100 lbs of perch fillets this year and several lake trout....big fish fry coming up next weekend at the VFW...guess who is cooking and supplying perch. Break is coming because the snow and ice are finally gone and time to start seeds and work the patch. I hauled 30 yards of horse and cow manure this morning for next year and am ready to file and soak seeds.   Saturday, April 20 View Page Round One will be Orange. Starting two 1175 Gansert and two 1078 Gansert seeds...1552 Young and 1747.5 Bailey.   Saturday, April 20 View Page Who in their right mind would grow a Damn Gansert Seed for Orange anyway. He Only has 17 or so HDs and I've never been accused of being in my right mind.   Wednesday, April 24 View Page 1078 Gansert seems to be a late germinator. Pushing dirt this AM and the other no signs of movement yet But the other four seeds are up and under light. 2 1/2-3 days being average germ for me.   Wednesday, April 24 View Page I use my oven as a germination chamber. Turn the light on and crack the door and it keeps me at a constant 85 degree temp. Open or close the door a little for different temps. If I'm going to use my stove I will open the door until done cooking or just remove. Forgot to remove when preheating oven one day...OH BOY was that fun!!!!   Thursday, April 25 View Page One 1078 came up and I checked the other this morning. Ain't pretty. I filed and am soaking another 1078. I'm out of 1078s. Hopefully this one germs. Normal germ time for me is 2 1/2 days. One is for me and one for my Nephew.   Sunday, April 28 View Page My other 1078 was up this morning and now under light!!   Sunday, April 28 View Page VFW Fish Fry went well!! Brought 43 lbs of fillets and came home with 3 lbs. Life is Good and everybody was Happy....except for a few that had to wait a little longer than expected. All money made goes back to the community in some form and to help out retired Vets or Spouses. Without the Vets we might not be the United States!!! SOME GAVE EVERYTHING...SOME GAVE ALL!!
