The fishing around our dock had been so bad lately I hadn't even attempted anything. But now that the air temps are cooling off a bit, the water temps should start falling as well. I wanted to do a little fishing last weekend, but when we got to our lake place Friday night, we found a large tree had fallen over in the driveway (it was dead and had been leaning, so I knew it was going to happen some day). So I spent all day Saturday cutting up the small stuff and burning them in a barrel that I put over the stump. Burning all of the brush also burned the stump to the ground. Cut up the main tree into fireplace-length then hauled them all down to my wood pile. I plan to buy a log splitter due to all the trees we've either taken down and all of the ones I still plan to take down this year. But soon I'll be dedicating some time to drowning a minnow.
