Its the dawn of sleepless nights and sleepy days- iykyk!
#StripedBass are pouring back into the area slowly but surely
For folks like me that means "bedtime" is when you crash the next 8 months

Gosh I Love this fish!!!

After weeks of walking the edges of the cold ponds on the outer Cape- I finally landed my first freshwater fish since the late 1980s

The next 2 weeks are full of anxiety
The #StripedBass migration North is kicking off and while there active holdovers on Cape Cod- the mass of fish that is coming has me frothing and unable to focus on the moment
#Singlehooks are all loaded, reels spun, gear ready

The waiting is the hardest part

Once you start growing Shitake Mushrooms you begin to SEE the world differently;
driving by a pile of fresh cut Oak with a 'free' sign in front of it is coming across a 10 year food supply
...I u-turned, loaded it up and ordered 200 plug spawns

One of my favorite pieces of fan interpretation...sure - you may think the lyrics are cheesy but tell me this video doesn't move your heart

Yay! It looks like the oak logs we inoculated with shitake plugs just about one year ago want to flush
This weekend looks wet and mild...IT's on!!

Any other early planters in southern NE?...
We go by the Moon...today and tommorow are the last bear chances to plant root veggies before the cycle switches to leaf plants on the 7th

As I ready some big pots I'm finding the ground is still frozen under 4 inches in outer #CapeCod #Gardens #Gardening

Switching out tail hooks for flags in the name of conservation
All my plugs will have single in line hooks this coming season (other than the darters- they'll have a single treble)

Stoked when they turn up all the way out here...in the middle.of winter too 🙌

So much wind on #CapeCod this week...lots of limbs down...time to start gathering and prepping for inoculation of Shitake plugs
This is my favorite pic from last year 9/30/24 #fungifriends #northsporemushrooms

The last "great" spawning year for the #StripedBass was 2015
I have have hope that this year's spawn could be as successful...the way this winter is unfolding is similar in terms of cold and ice...as much as it sucks- we need a few big snow storms to increase the chances of a healthy spawn
www.thecooldown.com/outdoors/str... If menhaden and striped bass are failing to spawn because of warmer waters and changes in available food, then both populations will plummet, affecting every species that relies on them for food or population control — every species from plankton to dolphins.
Researchers issue warning after discovering concerning pattern along US coastline: 'Something is going on, and it is real'
Researchers studying striped bass in the Atlantic have identified a worrisome interaction between overfishing and rising water temperatures.

As I continue my slow roll out of the #bookchallange #booksky I can't help thinking if 2025 feels like '1984' 2028 we should be in full blown "Fordism"

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Great discussion on #NBA #StartingLineup about the #Knicks minutes police, Michael Jordan's Games played/minutes played (jaw dropping)

Of course Embid is taking strays

While I wait for the #StripedBass spring migration I decided to start painting small pics of lures to stay busy
