    Its poison ivy mack. The antihistamine will help. Calamine lotion will help.clorox can dry it up but doesn't feel good.

    I've experimented with several baits now.Big creek chubs like the corn.I made a punch bait from cotton balls and tinned dog food.It caught alot but would wash away quickly in these small creeks.I wasn't satisfied and I wasn't catching any new types.I remembered a bass bait that I never liked because little fish attacked it.I stopped by the bait store and got a pack. I tore off a tiny piece,put it on the hook.i added some cotton fibers to the tip to add some life to it. I caught chub,shiners,bream and a largemouth.I caught a new type of shiner.Whitetail shiner.

    Thanks for the info.Otters work similar here.

    I agree about catfish.Ive watched a catfish crawl out of a dead cows ass on the river bank lol. Are signal crays always yalls otters main food source or is it just this time of year?

    The biologist said it's a shiner but unidentifiable from picture.He guessed that it was a mimic shiner.

    Thanks Mr Paulus. That's what I needed to know.

    I'm guessing it's some type of shiner that has a parasite.I like the name tiddler snatching I have just sent the picture to a biologist.Hopefully there will be a new discovered species.Rickshaw swami shiner lol. I do have some questions about the corn.What do yall prefer,?canned,frozen or fresh.i have been thinking.The sweetest corn is peaches and cream grown locally.Would this be a wise choice or does it not matter?

    Recently I started tiny fishing.There are hundreds of species of fish in Alabama.Most are small and not much are known about them.I figured if I could learn more about the small fish it would help me understand predators better such as smallmouth and otter.I bought a 10 ft telescoping pole.I tie about 3 ft of 2 lb tippet fly line to a number 20 nymph fly hook. So far I have caught mosquitofish. Black sided topminnow Several shiners Creek chub And one fish that I don't know what it is lol. I have used small worms and pieces of cricket most

    20 years ago I married my childhood sweetheart.We spent the day together at my father's river camp.It was peaceful. Spent most of the day watching ospreys hunt. And catching tiny bream. As we sat down to lunch in the camper I began to laugh as this camper had more square footage than our first house.We started our marriage in a 2 bedroom house trailer and bought an acre of land.My wife had to bottle raise a litter of pups right after our honeymoon lol.She took them to work with her in a shoebox.I remember loading a bulldog in my pickup headed to the moun

    I hope not to bore yall but I returned to the fish trap as I felt a real connection with the place.I never camp in the same place twice but I made an exception for this place. When I arrived the water was muddy and catfish had moved in. Supper was a sirloin cut in chunks.Soaked in Moores spicy marinade.Few peppers and mushrooms.This was the best tasting meal I've ever cooked on a creek bank. I listened to a good coonhound race just before falling asleep. I woke up at 430.Started the fire for coffee when I heard squawking at the edge of my camp then chirps and

    Yes we have them but not as many compared to copperheads or cottonmouth.Im not sure of legalities right now as they can change.
  16. Rickshaw swami
    No sir.Ive always wanted to try rattlesnake but I haven't had the opportunity.
  17. Rickshaw swami
    Take a sharp stick and gig those frogs you recently posted.It tastes better in my opinion. Have you ever had frog legs?

    I'm in Alabama.This recent trip was just across the line in Tennessee. Everything in the woods here can bite or sting.From poison ivy and black widows.To alligators and snapping turtles.The only critter here who might kill you is poisonous snakes.Cottonmouths are the only aquatic pit viper and in my opinion they are the devils handiwork. The most dangerous part isn't the critters in my opinion.This recent trip temps rose to 95 with a heat index of 105f.Thats 40.5celsius. There is no cell phone signal.If you get in trouble you are alone.But that's the same part I enjoy lol.

    I loaded some gear in my kayak rather last minute.I hadn't planned a trip but wanted to get away. I paddled to an old indian fish trap and set up camp. Caught some decent smallmouth. Supper was simple.smoked sausage and black coffee. As I drifted off to sleep I wondered how many Indians had camped at this spot.

    Thanks mack

    I would say it is possible but not probable.I have never encountered a bobcat in a situation where he could be caught by a terrier or lurcher in my area.I have heard rumours of Yankees digging them but never met the people.The only one I know for sure taken by terrier was by an Englishman this past winter.He works a pack of foxhound on coyotes for rich folk who pay him a salary.His foxhounds put a bobcat in a woodpile and a black terrier was brought in.I have watched the private video and trust this man.This is the only one I personally know of.
  23. Rickshaw swami
    Yes sir it is.I couldn't get close enough for my phone camera to focus.

    Find you a shallow fast moving creek for a snapper this time of year in my opinion.Look for cool running water.My little brother trapped some.I always preferred to pick them up by the tail. 20 years ago there was a black market for snapper meat.Some men got in trouble.Now days in Alabama I think your only allowed one per person per day harvest.
