We are now living in Marion Indiana and I have bought a few tanks, so far only the 55 gallon tank and the 26 gallon tank will be set up for sure.

Here i will post about my latest collecting/fishing adventure….

We got up early in the morning and headed off. on the way we had planned to stop at  the only creation museum in existence. I had been wanting to go there  for more then 6 years and we were finally going to go!

After three hours in the car we got there.

After getting in we wandered around looking at the fossils, displays and exhibits.

Some friends promised to bring their unused large tank over. In a few days they brought a 55 gallon with lamp, substrate, water bowl, ornaments and thermometers, wow! 

Plans have changed! My 5 gallon tank and ten gallon tank will be sold. My 26 gallon tank will be for fish, while my new 55 gallon tank will be for reptiles.

I want to have a glass SPA for whatever snake i will get so that i can see him when he is under water.

It will have some land and i hope to keep a newt in there.

I want to have a northern watersnake but of course newts and watersnakes dont always go together!

This morning me and my sister went down to a little section of the Elk river to fish.

My sister caught 4 smallmouth bass but i could only hook one and it jumped off before i could land it.

After getting there i inflated my new boat and set off to start fishing I got the hang of rowing and we rowed to an inlet. We didnt catch anything and we headed back to our camp.

First time rowing!

The next morning we got up early and started fishing.

I was fishing on the shore and my sisters were in the boat when i heard commotion.

I looked and my youngest sister was holding a bass.

They rowed to shore and we measured it, 11 inches long!

We didnt catch anything else but relaxing in my boat is cool enough.

Rumor had it that the owner had gone out one day and made fifty casts.

Out of those fifty casts he caught thirty largemouth bass. I was skeptical, until I went there.

My uncle lives by a huge lake in South Carolina and we wanted to visit him.

He had incredible cars, from a brand new challenger to a 1966 Plymouth Barracuda that looked like new and had incredible handling.

Small bullheads were plentiful here and i managed to catch 13 bullheads and 5 sunfsh in 5 hours.

The bullheads were fun to catch and pretty easy.

I jigged Gulp! worms and another type very slowly on the bottom.

For the sunnies I used a small powerbait trout worm.

The bullheads faught fairly hard considering their body shape and were fun to catch.
