Sunday Fishing at Buffalo

Les was getting ready to go deer hunting this afternoon so Richard, Josh and I went to Buffalo to fish the brushpiles. The wind was in the north at 15mph and the water was 59 degrees there were fish at the piles according to the locator but we didn't catch any of them. Everyone enjoyed the the afternoon but we called it early as the sky clouded up and cooled off a bit. As it is said " a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work". Until next time de Paul N0NBD

Josh showed up early for breakfast so we woke Richard up and kicked for Buffalo lake. Temperatures were in the 70s, the water was 68 degrees, crappie were in the brushpiles at 12 feet and were biting our black and green tube jigs.... It was a great afternoon with Richard and Josh.... the pictures tell the rest of the story de Paul

Weblo Scouts and Fall camping at Elsmore

Finally I can write something about QRP and it is camping. My son Les took the Bull den of Pack 76 on a fall campout at Elsmore. The weather was cool and the boys had a great time. We hiked around ALL OVER! The boys got in some good fishing and caught a few small bass. I threw a WA0ITP 5/5 antenna in the trees and with my ATS III, BLT and AZ paddles worked a few.... Next time I will take a amplified speaker as I used one ear bud and the scouts took turns listening on the other. It was a livley time with 8-10 year old boys..... Man they have energy! It was reported that a "snoreasaurus" was in the camp last night and his picture is below..... the weekend was a GREAT time and I am looking forward to next month. de Paul
