Best way to catch worms in your back garden is to use a hose with a sprinkler head on it. Turn the water on and point the hose upwards. You're looking to mimic rainfall ideally, the worms will be straight up to the surface. I always find it strange when you call it a bobber, in the UK we call it a float. Because a) it floats in the water and b) it floats your bait in the water column.
I took my son, his friend and my nephew, mackerel fishing when they were kids, we came home with 18, so even though all but one were caught by my son, the boys took home 6 each. My son filleted ours, and sold them to the neighbours!
JT, you mentioned that you have snapping Turtles on your property. Why don't you catch and eat one of those? I am told that it is perfect for Chowders, stews and soups and it's a fantastic substitute for chicken or pork in any sort of mishmash dish like jambalaya or dirty rice. You can also grill turtle meat, parboil it and bake it. I have never tried as I live in the UK.
Looking at the size of your float (bobber) we would assume you're after huge fish of 20 0r 30 llbs. For those tiny fish we would use a very thin float. The other thing is we are not allowed to fish at all during the spawning season.
The only freshwater fish we can legally catch and eat here in UK are Salmon and Trout. MANY restrictions are applied and special licenses are normally required. Mostly out of reach of the majority of anglers.
Do you mean like the thousands of day ticket trout fisheries around the UK, that you can drive to and pay for a day's fishing at? The only "Special licence required" to fish them, is a rod licence.
@@benballard-ho7tu I wasn’t really thinking of the pay to fish ponds. True you can get day tickets BUT as you’ll know the rod license must include game fish such as trout and salmon and it can be quite expensive.
Nice video (as usual) I have watched your videos since you was 19 yrs old , you haven't changed much , except for your beard! Love to you and Anna , also the furbies ♥♥♥♥♥
use heat shrink around your connections and tape around the heat string and keep your wire harness dry ig you can run it in a short piece of water proof conduit your hot wire probably got wet at some point and shorted you out.
That’s the ole gucci John boat there the only thing to call it! Well damn done sir. Throw a 15 hp engine on there and you’d have a great little pond hopper with endless travel ability basically
Bro go to patient first and get doxycycline, it'll kill the bacteria that turns into lymes disease. If you're getting bit that many times by ticks it's not good. Your supposed to take the doxy anytime u get bit by one.
Got a couple of tips for you. Next time, don't hike in shorts, I wouldn't want to risk contracting Lymes disease. Duct tape your trousers around the tops of your boots, this will stop the ticks from crawling up your trouser legs. Then, you want to reverse wrap your legs from ankle to knee with duct tape - so that the sticky is facing outwards. As you're hiking along any ticks you brush against will stick to the duct tape. Then at the end of the day, you can just cut the duct tape wrap off your legs. I'd carry a spare plastic bag in your kit for all the wrap you cut off? You can throw it away at home. Pack the duct tape in your kit for re-applying the next day. Also - please don't carry your sleeping bag exposed like that, it's a vital piece of kit when you're camping. If you get caught in a downpour and it gets soaked, it's not the best thing to sleep in. In some environments it could lead to exposure and hypothermia issues. Just put it in a black bin liner and tie it up. You can then stow it on the backpack still. I stow my sleeping kit (tent and bag) as vertical as possible as it's right in the middle of your back making it a little easier to carry. If they're swinging around under your backpack, it can lead to more energy being used to counteract it when you walk. I'd probably get some fluoro material strips and then walk the trail to the creek with Anna's dad and tie the strips around tree trunks at eye level. That way you've always got a guide path for next time?
One of my grandsons, a keen camper, loves nothing better than a weekend camping out with a mate in the Gondwana rainforest, near his home in Queensland. A venturer scout, Alex told me via Webex that he was surprised you got lost. He told me, " Gramps, all he had to do was copy what all the trees around him were doing, and leave". 😂
I didn't see that spoon on your list of what you bought. Maybe you brought it from home. Just searched my local Walmart to see what I could do for 100.00. My list: (rounded up to nearest 50 cents.) Tent 30.00 Inflatable sleeping pad 15.00 (No sleeping bag since you're sleeping on top of yours) Headlamp 2.00 (No lamp because headlamp works in tent also) Same 10.00 cook set Lighter 1.00 Bug spray/repellent 5.00 Ozark trail memory foam pillow 10.00 (to put on top my backpack) Same 10.00 backpack 1.5 liters Smartwater 1.00 2 packs of Ramen 1.00 Mountain house sausage biscuits and gravy 10.00 (Because I like a good breakfast in the morning) Folgers instant coffee packs 2.00 (got to have me coffee) Ozark trail utensil set 1.50 (Knife, fork, spoon) Total. 98.50 Of course it was cheaper because of me rounding everything up. Was fun to watch and then see if I could do the same, better or worse for the same amount. I think I did pretty well.
