I plan to do two things this year.

One is to start removing the stunted bluegills from my 1/4 acre pond behind the house. I've owned this house for 20 years and never removed any fish other than the golden shiners that were in it when I bought it. It took about two years to eliminate them. The local group of raccoons were always grateful when I pitched one up on the bank. I'm sure they will appreciate the bluegills as well.

The second thing if my health holds out is to take a trip to Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. I've been there a half a dozen times, but just to sightsee, never fish.
