Cool...... enjoy......!!!
Did you stock the sand pit ???
No Don, the river has an opening into it. I'll try to post a Google earth link sometime. We used to pull the kids on water skis in it.
The one on the left was a male. I figured the other would be full of eggs but it was just fat.
What kind of fishes are those?
Walleye James. Good eating
I'll have to take your word Dave, I've never had any.
ITS SO GOOD! You need to get some of that Iowa Walleye!
Any fish is best when not frozen, the fresher the better. This was out of the water, into the frying pan....
Just west of the Cedar River is the sand pit. I was fishing in the west pond up by the road. To the west a half mile or so is one of the quarries I sold 2 years ago. Just west of that is a pond that is the quarry we closed in 1984. I stocked it with fish and caught some of the biggest crappies of my life there. My house and shop is just east of the blue dot that marks the xmas lite display. If you pan upriver to where it says Barrets Cutoff there is an island that is several hundred acres. Shot many deer there in the past. Did a lot of boating, fishing, and drinking beer on that old river. Spent many weekends camping at the sand pit and burnt a lot of gas pulling the kids on water skis.........They pretty well grew up down there on the weekends.
