 Okay, sometimes it may be good, sometimes it sucks. Welcome all back to the channel, everybody. It is one of those beautiful, absurdly nice outdoor days. I just got back from elk hunting, catching up with the fam, doing all that great stuff. OSG and Emmy and Ben are all at the State Fair, the Texas State Fair right now. And I am here about to just do some outdoor things. Just thinking about it. If you are getting into the outdoors right now, this is the greatest time. It is a double whammy time because we have deer season going on with bass fishing starting to get really good, starting to get charged up again. Bucks are gonna be in rut, you know, hearing about a month or so. Perfect timing here. I just got a box of stuff from Bucks. You guys are familiar with ducks. That is, you know, duck hunting, lifestyle, apparel. There's some other of us that really enjoy antlered type deals. And we decided to do a kind of fall-examine concept. Got Bucks going, lifestyle apparel for deer, you know, packs, hats, t-shirts, performance hoodies, things like that for, you know, your basic, you know, deer camp scenarios. Try a little buck, drunk call right here. I will be putting that in the pack. And man, I'm excited to get down to the deer lease soon, y'all. Just came off of this elk hunt, charged up from that, but man, I'm ready to go deer hunting and I'm wanting to get Stephanie on her first deer. I really haven't even done that much scouting, y'all, just because of having baby Ben. Haven't had time to do it, but, you know, it's already archery season. Good to go there. I'm ready to get down, sit in a tree, just check out some bucks, see what's moving around. Yeah, we got that silver bullet sitting there. We're gonna do a chicken check real quick for you guys. Gonna include some homeblog stuff for you here since a lot of you commented on my last homeblog video. You wanna see more at home. Girls, how we doing? How are we doing today? Starting to grow back, your feathers a little bit. I see a lot of leaf blowers out today in the neighborhood, by the way. I just got done leaf blowing because we just had a big storm come through. Temperature has dropped, it's really beautiful. I keep saying that, it's because I'm gonna go fishing. It's been so nice. That's old Puff right there. Puff's looking pretty nice. She's fully regrown her feathers. Our dorkings, dorkings are still laying eggs every day, they're looking all right. Bardrock's kind of rough, that's Betty. Betty's looking all right, but our other Bardrock, she's got that old naked neck going on. It's just not very soothing for her. And then my favorite red chicken penny, she's got a little chest sloughing going on. I think a lot of it is from my on-demand feeders. You know, they stick their necks in there and they get that food out. I just lowered it to the ground. Heck yeah, but he is at it with the leaf blowers. Are you about ready to lay there, Piggy? Go in there and get you on. See what we got happening here today. Carrot, carrot is currently in the box right now. She's laying one, she's pretty relaxed. It's kind of weird chickens get into a trance when they lay. You know, normally she would never let me touch her, but right now she's just cool as a cucumber. And she's probably sitting on two or three eggs. Good to go. Thank you girls, continue to do what you do, make those eggs, appreciate you very much. So gorgeous out here, shouldn't even be legal. Beautiful, beautiful fall day. I just forgot my sunglasses though. You ever do that? That is really disappointing, such a sunny day, but we'll digress. The last tournament I fished y'all, I don't think we put it out yet on the Googie Squad channel. Man, it was a doozy of a lake. I'm talking, it tore up some gear and I went through a prop. So this is actually my backup prop that I used. And I even chipped it up and I lost my scag and I broke my transducer mount. And I got a couple of little skivvy do's on the, on the scag, it was just nasty. Should be a great video when it comes out as one of the most high and low tournaments I've ever fished. It was a lot of fun. But anyway, we're gonna hop in the boat, enjoy this gorgeous atmosphere out here. Also from post-tournament, we have a foot pedal, a foot pedal problem again. Cool thing about these units, these garments you can actually control. You can control a lot of the troll motor with this remote right here. My speed wheel went out during the tournament, but I was able to use this to control the speed. So I needed a new speed wheel, but you can use this remote to do a lot of those operations. So something I should have rigged up post-tournament is, any shaky head, did I do it? Yes, I did. I wanna head and do it. Cause in the fall started about October here in Texas. This is when I like to break out a shaky head quite a bit. And you can throw your straight tail worms on it. Something that I was turned on to last year so on this little trench hog. That little trench hog on there, man, it's just like it was meant to be. It's like it came down from the fishing heavens and just said be a shaky head. Usually this time of year, they will start to get on any sort of, you know, main lake point, even like offshore shallow stuff and the lakes will sometimes draw down. This lake is down quite a bit right now. You know, a calm day, you don't have the wind to get that spinner bait, crank bait bite going, which is really good in the fall, top water as well. I like to get that shaky head and just give it that old drag. Give it that old dragger till you run into something good. You know, a stump or a patch of rocks. Just drag it along until you hit that and then just pop it a little bit. Here we go. Little spotted bass. Let him go. Little spotted, buddy. Doing a little offshore looking right here because I'm just seeing a lot of random fish look deep, like on the bottom. You know, in like 20, there's a couple of drops. Just in general, fish are like on the bottom out here in 20. You'll go fast, they need a 30. Turn it around on me, I gotta go to the front. What the deuce, man? The deuce. I'll leave to go to the elk woods for a week. Come back, the fish, it's kind of weird. They seem to be deeper. Than what I would expect. I don't know if we had a recent rain that made them push deeper, just seeing a lot of marks like the shad or not. God, I'm seeing a lot of marks. We're gonna do a little test here. Just came across a brush pile that I've never fished. Just run down the bank, just found one. And it looked just oozing with crappie. So I wanna see if those babies are gonna fire. Out there in that deep stuff. Little dangle bug here for the crappie. Good Lord, can't even get a crappie to nibble. That is concerning. Ah, they even want to talk about it. Specimen of a rock drag. A rod tip, just loving it. It's getting in there and just a boom, boom, boom. Feeling those rocks. Should connect, but I'm not. Clumps up, man. Something ain't right, they ain't biting my lure like they're supposed to. Gonna make me sneak up in that deer blind, son. The ass gonna leave me hanging? You gonna get me on them bucks. There's a dude just riding the daggoms earth board out here. Oh, wow, it's interesting. Looks fun. The only thing I haven't tried yet is going in some shallow water. Look, some of the backs of these creeks. I'm seeing shad at the surface right now. That one's got it. Dropped it, no, he's still got it. Oh my gosh, I haven't done it for a long time. Okay. Sometimes it can be good, sometimes it sucks. Dagger. Can't buy bite. Cannot buy a bite. From that little disaster. Look at these little lamps stepping. Kinda cool. I didn't fish all the way till dark, dark because I wanted to make sure I was here for Emi because she wanted to see me before she goes to bed. She and Steph went to the state fair today. How are we doing? Beth? It's been a long day. It's been a long day? Yeah, we went to the state fair today. Hi, dad. If I don't have great hair tomorrow morning. Okay, if Stephanie asked, I definitely covered my tomato soup before I put it in the microwave. All right? That red stuff wasn't not me. Emi, tell me about your day at the state fair. You had fun, did you see Big Tex? I did. You did, was he big? Yeah. How big? Yeah. He was bigger than me. Oh, that's pretty tall. What else happened? Did you see some zoo animals? Yeah, I did. Farm animals? Yeah. What about rides? Yeah, I did. Did you get a funnel cake? I did. What about cotton candy? No, we did. What about hot dogs? We did not. Corn dogs? We did not. What about deep fried Oreos? No. Oh my goodness, you missed out on so much. I just had a lemonade. You had a lemonade? Yes, I know the kind of food. You love lemonade, and you love popsicles. Sure, great. Oh, did I get that in my house? Yeah. Well, you didn't miss anything at the lake. Mommy and daddy did not realize it was Corbis Day, and the lake was packed, and so was the state fair. Yeah, we chose wrong today. I didn't want to see my baby, but what did? Let's go see him. Show me baby Ben. He's probably exhausted, huh? Yeah, he is. He's pretty tired. You got a bruise on your chin. So we were filming a little home vlog yesterday. OSG, all right, turn that down. Right at the end, we had already signed it off. I was watching football. I was kind of getting in the nap, and I just hear crash. And that was the signal something had gone wrong. And then I go over, I just pick him up, and I look down, and my shirt is covered in blood. And she had flipped over, and her chin hit her jaw or something. And her chin hit the chair, and it hit her, I don't know, cost something. Somehow it hit her teeth. We thought she had knocked her teeth out or something. Or bit off her tongue. Bit off her tongue, but she's OK. You're OK. You want to show them your chin? A little boo-boo? Yeah, you got a little boo-boo. It's your first big boo-boo. Really? You're a tough girl. You're a tough gal. I'm proud of you. Take it. You're a tough orange dog? OK. I'm glad you can harness that spirit of the orange dog. Fight through the pain. And it's probably not stopping you from eating those sweets. Like your gummies. Oh yeah, I see. Your teeth look good. The backside of them looks good. I'm just yawning. I'm just yawning. Anyway, we had one of those like parenting moments. Like, oh my gosh, we're going to have to go to the dot. But anyway, it's fine. She's fine. And Ben slept through the whole thing. That's the other good news. So I think folks want to know this book that we've been hearing about. It's coming. The year. Is it actually coming? It is. I mean, the publishers told me today that I'm supposed to get an update today about it. You're trying to touch this? I can't just tell them that the pre-sale is open. Yeah. Because pre-sale is open. If it's open? Pre-sale is open. I just cannot give you a guaranteed date of when it comes out. So it'll shift at the end of October. I just can't give you an exact date. But there's a link. OK, there'll be a link down below. I'm pretty sure my dad already got a copy. Oh, my parents have already got copies. So your biggest fans. And we don't even have an official copy yet. I wish we did. I did. OK. All right. Oh. Hey, Ann. Can I hold you? Yeah. OK. All right. So anyway, it is busy around here with Ben and Emmy. And I'm proud of you for all and amongst all of that being pregnant and you got a book done. A long book. It's over 100 pages. It's 180. 180 pages of delectable treats. So anyway, if you guys got a sweet tooth, notice my other does, links down below for OSG's goodness. And then with that, I am going to eat some dinner because I'm starving. Well, guys, I didn't really know where this vlog was going when I started it. And yeah, I still don't really know where it's going. I just finished editing the elk video. And it's my first time getting back out on the water. And I actually talked to a fishing freak when I was getting off the water and he was saying that it has sucked lately. I didn't understand where was the white bass, the crappie I dropped down on. Not happening. There's a few weeks either at the end of September, sometime in September or early October where that happens. And I think that's where we're at right now. So we really needed to cool down quite a bit more for it to get good again. But this is usually where I end my nights. I come in here and I get ready for the next adventure, be able to tackle or hunting stuff. I do a lot of knife maintenance. I got a new Skinner for this season. I'm sort of a barky, I guess you could say, I'm a bark river fan. I'm always kind of checking out what they got going on, what's popping out. And they made a new addition to the UP series in an EDC size. It's like under four inches and it's thin. That's what you want with a Skinner. I got that Canadian style little sway back on it, it's going to be good for doing that right there. And I learned something on some new cleaning knives. I'm going to test it out. I went and got a couple of different knives that are extremely cheaper than my usuals right over the nice leather case and the O-Candles and all that stuff. But anyway, I'm going to be experimenting that on that with my next meet session when I get some animals down. I don't know if this is possible, but I would like to get Emmy in a deer blind to see some deer for the first time and I'm definitely going to take Stephanie out there and try to get her on her deer, but you know, maybe it's just a tornado and we love her. We love her to death. She's just, she's got so much energy. She just can't help it. Anyways, I'm going to sign it off. Godspeed and good luck in the great outdoors whether you're in the woods or you're getting on the water. I hope you snatch them up. I hope your arrows and your bullets are flying straight. I'll see you guys on the next one.
