October 2025: The First Week

Seen while walking:

Friday harvest:

Saturday fishing trip:

Saturday catch - eight largemouth bass, fifteen bluegill & one warmouth:

The warmouth was a surprise because I thought the lake's fish population was largely from stocked fish but apparently it connects to a nearby wild creek when the water is high:

Something new in the backyard garden. We're giving long beans a try:

It took me a little longer than usual but Halloween has arrived at our home:

Daily fish fact #422

Warmouth!

During breeding season in the spring, males will create disc-shaped nests in the substrate near a hiding spot like a log or a large patch of grass! After a female lays her eggs in the nest and the male fertilises them, the male will then guard the eggs from anything that approaches, including other females. They're members of the sunfish family!

I can't believe warmouth is second to last in the sunfish poll. i love those guys they were the easiest to ID in my ichthyology class (patch of teeth on tongue = warmouth)

I will always be excited when I catch a Warmouth from this lake. Their population is finally increasing after a bad fish kill
