Thread: Pumpkins Panfish and Persimmons

Driving to VA this past weekend the usual mountain scenery was dotted with various sized signs with peoples names on them, mostly ones I didn’t recognize but two that I did. The underlying message conveyed by the new additions to the scenery is one reflected by the flashing banner found here on this website... that is to vote! Make an informed decision and get out and exercise that American privilege. Headed up to see the grand kids we were, and of course I had an Ultralight rod loaded for action. Hurricane Delta was fast on our heels and the scene on Saturday morning-

Pouring rain! What like the 27th named storm this year or something? Well that’s ok I brought a couple pumpkins for the young uns to carve, never done this they had not so let’s get at it.
Typical girls they are but once one hand went in, it was guts out! Looked outside and yep, raining.

Seriously, I own and brought a nice rain suit...and it’s called a rain suit for a reason, you don’t wear it in the sunshine.
Finally to the Panfish you say. The wind was swirling but when it started blowing towards the deep bank I knew it would be on like Donkey Kong. Last cast of the evening produced a slab Crappie...

No board but that Croc shoe is a size 12. Monday morning, I am on Fall Break from work and finally some fishing weather.
Fall is here and the morning was awesome.
No great monsters or numbers were caught but I did find my intended quarry hungry and cooperative.
The Waximus from a board member here fooled many Gills and the Trout Magnet did well also. The last fish of the morning was photographed in front of this skinny tall tree with bright orange ripened fruit.

Hence in the title, a beautiful stroke of color from our Creator.

Be safe.
