    Those small ones we call “shakers” happen to all of us. A bigger eye will put up a good fight. Checking your lines every few minutes helps to deal with the shakers and any thing else you might pick up.

    When you catch a bigger fish, then you will know the different feel of the bites.Hard tap from them sucking the bait in and the it will get heavy and pounding. FISH ON

    Clover plots are really begining to shine as the summer heat and lack of rain begins! My lawn is turning crunchy already hear in Albertville so I decided to check a few plots around home and Man are they looking good! Once established and thick the clover with hold its dew form the night before long in the the next day, I was in the plot at 11 am and wet to my knees, gotta love that! I recently clipped a square foot weighed it and came up with an amazing 8oz of clover per square foot, at just over 14000 square ft this plots has some tonage laying there I’d say! Last pic is from the damage the food plot vultures have been inflicting latly

    Very nice plot!! I started my food plot addiction as a field tester for the whitetail institute in 1988 (I hate to age myself like that) If you have the proper equipment to mow the clover plots and maintain them they are hard to beat as a high protien food source! I have always thought that about 10-20% of all your plots should be perenniels if you can take care of them. you definately know how to maintain a great clover plot!

    Its Whitetail institutes, Imperial Clover(the only clover )Seeded 2 falls ago, this will be its 3rd season, and its really comeing on strong, I dont have a nice mower at all, just a junk rider that cuts when its running, its on a farm right in the metro here near my house and it is seeing heavy use right now by best I can figure 6 does and 5 fawns as well as a few bucks but no frequenters on this plot. and it maintains its tonnage dispite its relatively small size at barly a third acre!
