I am thinking of going out again this afternoon. It is just about time for the milfoil to go down and the lakes to turn over. That will open up some shoreline pools and I expect to see some big eaters cruising the shallows to fatten up for winter on the newly exposed sunfish and maybe the crappies too. A lot of times the bigger crappies show up now as well as in the spring. We have been seeing a bit bigger than normal recently in a couple of lakes.

First though I am going to have to plant the last of my garlic. The last seed bulbs came in the mail just this last week for a couple of new varieties for me to test out. My own bulbs that I saved from last summer's harvest were planted out last week. This autumn planting of garlic is working out just fine. Pretty much just like planting tulips but not so deep.
