I tried to hook up with a few post spawn smallies

Well, my shoulder and I got some much-needed exercise. lol I went to the Grand today. My thought was the spawn should be over and well the actual spawn should be done but they are still guarding their spawn. I saw a lot of suckers doing sucker things.  I worked on my range of motion with my shoulder and my casting stroke. I only brought jigs with me to the river. I should have brought the top water baits.  

A juvenile Bald Eagle buzzed me a few times as I watched him learn how to be a better bird of prey. I went to a few headwater access areas of the Grand. 

She was plenty skinny and had some mud and I could not wade this section of the river.

So, this next part of my blog entry has me a wee bit upset. Around here we have a huge Amish community.  I have traveled all over this wet marble, and I have met people in both hemispheres. I learned to not judge a person by how they speak, how they dress, and or how they conduct themselves.

I also learned at an early age that we are all people and while some people may have more money than me or nicer clothes this does not make them a better person.

Back to my point, while driving through Trumbull County I passed several Amish farms. I safely passed Amish carriages with care and where a passing lane was present.  Unlike others that disregarded the safety of others and on blind curves in the road. I don’t get the selfishness of others while driving.

I continue to witness mindless behaviors. I witnessed a flat board trailer being pulled by a work horse while a person a full-size dodge power-wagon decided to tailgate an Amish man through town. People just need to just grow up and respect others.
