 Morning y'all day three at camp water clarity has improved. I'm hoping it was worth staying last night So we can go catch some fish. I'm going to be fishing till about noon today Did I got to get back to do some work on the chicken coop? I want to get that thing ready so that this weekend we can go get our chickens yesterday This was the key basically egg sacks and you stick them on the bottom. You got stinky bait on there Put a little split shot. I hope we don't have to end up doing that today But you know if you sit there and do that for like an hour or two, you might get your limit It's pretty effective and in the rough conditions, but in my opinion way more fun is the lures and You can really rack them up to like you're constantly casting in different areas and picking off fish I still think fly fishing is off the table because the water is still tea colored But a nice flashy lure putting out some good presents. I think these trout whack it. Let's get the waiters on They do have a hole in them. I think it's time for a new set of waiters, but we're gonna endure. Oh Yeah, water's looking better today y'all Buddy Lance is already down there Giving it some whips He's actually walked out to the main part of the river. So that means the waters come down another half a foot or so where we can Really access some of these other spots if you need another reel I got one What you lost your drag control It's unfortunate lost his damn reel handle. Oh I got one guys. I got one. I Got I got one right by Chris Right by his feet rooster tail Wow, what a little donker Gonna put little buddy in my pouch for a second. I Got to put him in my fanny pack for a second just for a minute I'm on a hot bite right here Eight inches are chomping Yeah, white and little chartreuse That's the first bite on a lure though. That's good sign Thank you come off All right y'all I'm gonna put this fish on my stringer got two bites landed one Landed the tiny one. Here we go. Tiny is tied up. Okay. I'm switched up to the power bait Even though the Sun's coming out. There's just a really specific spot right here ultra micro spot within a spot And I've gotten bit on my rooster tail like four times. I've only hooked up with well, I've had two fish on I've had two other bites that have just not connected Got him on the power bait There you go, buddy. I got bit with the power bait a couple times Wasn't successful on getting the hook up and I just said I can't do it. I Like throwing I like throwing the lures, but still I've had five bites on lures and I haven't landed landed them What it's a what? Dude I popped it out of a rock and the sucker grabbed it a drum Oh I snagged it. Oh, it's a red sucker. It's a sucker fish They got sucker hooked it got suckered Wow Catch of the day. I Hear they eat good What do you think you gotta be a sucker to eat that what do you think I've had them really I've had them I've caught I've caught them up in Missouri the only way you can catch them snagging them Yeah But I'm gonna tell you what they're not that good. They're definitely not as good as a trout You went for that power bait little nugget on there Yep popped it out. I was snagged and then he grabbed it Ladies and gentlemen, this is a a red horse sucker A red horse sucker, I believe he's doing a little poop sash right there and You can tell that They are they're just made for Eating on the bottom. This is a called a subterminal mouth Right here. It's just facing downward and They they just suck stuff up off the rocks. So my lure was stuck on a rock and then He came over grab it. This is the This is a rare catch for me It's hard to catch these because basically just snagging them if you do They don't really eat anything But we'll let him go so we can suck all this mud out of the the river here Hopefully clean it up a little bit Have a good day sucker We're gonna take that sucker fish as it's a sign of the times we need to move water levels getting pretty normal It is cleaning up if you get on the right spot right lure So catch catch a limb quick I'm gonna give it another hour and a half and I'm cutting out head back to the chickens Okay, we got our little trout clean. We're at a new spot much more scenic Lots of little waterfalls in here water still dirty just got my first bite Somewhere out there in the middle Had them on you just came off. That's been the problem I had two bites in here. I had one on I lost him right where you're standing I was using a super duper It was extremely slow Especially just letting it hit the bottom All right, well good luck Time to pack up the last little bit to camp and head back to the treehouse One little micro fish. That's all I got job I lost every good fish I hooked This is the only one that baited I mean if I still had them on a stringer, I'll probably let them go but I pretty much cleaned them right away I'll just have to be a little appetizer or something with another meal. We've got the tent We got a takedown which I love did I mention I love this tent how fast it goes down and up and packs away Even though I love my big canvas tent. It's kind of like this one Same people make this one kodiak canvas, but This one right here. It is the bee's knees. Watch me break this down tie me Pretty dang close to five minutes y'all. We'll call this a five minute tent my other one I don't set it up unless I'm staying there for at least three days because it takes An hour to set up. Okay, little guy Going in the go bag done put the cooler in here. We are on the road Ladies and gentlemen conditions have changed for the awesomeness Horse part is she's got attacks from lance And buddy lance said the trout are a munching now the water is cleared up Pretty much everybody's caught their limits in the time that I left And I've gotten back here and started working on the chicken coop. I came home and I I showed Osg my my really small trout And to be honest with you she wasn't really impressed She was she was not impressed by the trout. Anyway, we're ready to put in some work out here at the little treehouse homestead I got to catch you guys up on what what i've got going on on the chicken coop the chicken run I should say we are close to getting them winged friends in there and osg's out here just Killing the game killing the yard scape game. She's making a uh a beautiful flower bed around the trees We're gonna have a little walkway Leading to the chicken coop come out here get our eggs in the morning with our coffee say what It's gonna be good and you've got a nice new front yard now. It looks delicious. I know Did you tell him about the scorpion that I found? I did not no is it still there? Oh, no, I killed it. You killed it and you discarded it See if we already had the chickens around we wouldn't have no scorpions. They just munch on them things Just little savage velociraptors. We've made big moves over here in the chicken game y'all Check this out. I've got stained panels up. I've got three so far beam Complete all the way across We ended up going with a notch peg over here. It didn't work out so well over here The angle of the dangle was not correct on this post So I ended up just having to punt On my uh, you know, I spent all that time making that notch there and I filled it in with a two by four looks looks terrible But functional it's gonna work now. But look at this y'all head heights great I can walk right under it walking here the chickens be flying up hitting this They're fine. I'm just grabbing out of there bobcats come in boom They're going to get right in that gets snagged feet are going to be dangling chickens They're going to pop up and they're going to be eating their toes That's how it's going to go took some other two by twos put it up on the two by six to rest a little ridge Got two and a half inch deck nails just screwed them in working out nice holding up osg god bless her Her two hours away from from emi She's that's being baby sat right now and she's out here just getting after it True story though. I came home one time from a business trip And she had dug up an entire Huge circle it was like this big as big as a flower bed in the backyard And she was making like a fire pit I came home and like all the grass was gone. It was just it looked like a ufo landed in the center And it was just there. Do you remember that? I do I mean you got after it and then we had to haul the grass away because we just had like a mound We ended up dumping it in some river somewhere apologize So my goal for a day build a couple more panels for the run And I've already got one cut out. I'm going to finish putting the chicken wire on it We're going to complete This side right here and close that and we're when we get our new coop This tiny one right here. I mean this one holds like four chickens max But we're going to get a new one. We're going to lower it in right here And it's going to sit under there and then we're going to fully enclose the whole thing I wouldn't tell you what chicken wire Working with that all day. That is a good workout But we are done We're done. Look at look at my little a little huntress. Have you seen any babies so cute ready? I mean dinosaur rain boots with a valentine's day dress osg phase one of the new flower bed complete Looking quite good, honey. Thank you. Come on in and check it out. I'm excited for this. Let's go inside the cage Honey, this looks good. Oh, yeah It looks good. Look at that Oh my gosh. Oh, it's perfect for me. I mean Yeah, me too Quality craftsmanship. Well, I don't know if I'd go that far with the quality But there is some craftsmanship. What's going on? So I ended up taking the two and a half inch nails Screwing these boards together because all of them are bowed, but now they're all connected flush Flush, there's no bobcat cracks in here fishing freaks. Go ahead and just give me a little like button I'm getting a like button from osg right now. She's going to make me some brownies. She just told me Are you proud of yourself? I'm kind of proud of myself. I got to clean it up a little bit But our chickens are going to be safe.
