    Just let Woody outside for his last duty of the day. Our motion detector light comes on as normal as I walk towards the back yard enjoying the beautiful spring evening.

    Walking back to the door I had to stop and count them. No less then 16 JUNE BUGS covering my escape into the house!

    Now I made a mad dash without any trouble, but if the FW would have been out there, I would be getting a phone call from the neighbors to come and get my hysterical wife.

    Yeah, no…she doesn’t do well around June Bugs.

    I’m thinking the summer of 2012 is here!

    Hey BK,
    Was digging in one of my flower beds and they where all over in the ground. When I dig in there again in July and August, there are Sumo Grub worms. The Sumo sunfish just love them.

    When I was a youngster back when Herb and I were making dirt…Dad and I went to the “manure” pile and pilaged around until we found enough grubs and they were/are awesome sunfishing bait!

    We found out two things.

    1. They bite (or pinch) either way it hurt.
    2. They eat through Styrofoam bait buckets and that’s how your basement gets filled with June Bugs.

    I’m pretty sure several flatheads will be caught tonight. I REALLY wish I was on the river!


    I know Darren popped a 50#+. I’ve done everything but beg my nephew to get out this week before the damn front passes. If we don’t get out tonight, I am giving him an earful. You’d think he’d be all pumped since he caught one the last time out.

    And since I know he lurks here, YEAH DAVE I AM TALKING TO YOU!

    Oh, I also have noticed the June bugs. Hearing that buzz will strike fear into most men. Especially those times when you realize that it isn’t a June bug, but a stag beetle! Or even worse, a water bug!

    My FW went flying across the yard the other day sounding like an Italian Opera singer after she found a poor little snake in her flower bed while we were spreading mulch. Of course my laughing didn’t make it any better. I think I’ll be allowed back in the house this weekend.

    I hope my FW doesn’t ever find one in our yard. I like living where we do.
