The down south thread.

Sirens going off every few mins. Possible tornado to the NW. Eventful evening so far...  

Beautiful bows Fowler!! Look at the build and those tails! Whole lives battling the current...that's on a different level. Enjoy

Meanwhile wayyy down south...
Working in the Ozark Natl forest today , we came upon some deep pools in a nearby creek. Took notice of some nice rainbows. ​Hiked back in with the spin gear. 
Fresh Rainbow for dinner this week.
Not ​a huge trout ​fan but these will do just ​fine ​pan fried. 

That was the same scenario tonight s4g. Cold front coming in felt amazing too

Awesome night here in the south. Windy but keepn the skeeters at bay...

Yes suppose to get some rain tomorrow, fox chain in Illinois has been flooded pretty bad for a week, hopefully it has crested . You guys can stop sending your water down this way….

Absolutely beautiful night down here. Calm b4 the storm. Tomorrow night supposed to get hammered again🫢

Beautiful night down here...sat in line for an hour and a half @ landfill in the next city over. We had flooding bad but not as bad as most. Very sad 😔 

No sweat Junkie.  I go in there now and see kids I coached in football at the bar and say to myself, "THIS CAN'T BE!  THEY'RE STILL KIDS!"

Ahh I forgot about Docs! We used to stop out there a few times a summer back in college. Always had great food. That might be the winner depending on when game times land and whatnot. 

I appreciate the suggestions! 

Junkie: Depends what you're looking for, that area has just about everything.  Water Street Brewery is good as is Delafield Brew Haus.  If you're looking a little more high end, there's Kurt's Steakhouse.  If you have kids with you, Marty's pizza is fantastic.

If you don't mind a little bit of a drive, about 20 minutes, North Lake Inn has arguably the 2nd best pizza on the planet with Doc's Drydock on Pewaukee Lake being the best.  Doc's is a bit of a haul from there, probably 30 minutes, because you have to go around the lake.

Hope this helps.

We have a basketball tournament in New Berlin this weekend and we are staying in Delafield, wondering if anyone has any recommendations for restaurants that would be worth trying somewhere in that area?

  
Sail on sailors 🫡🇺🇲

Yesterday,  saw 12 walleye spawning in a little local clear water river. Paddled up in the morning to a lake, saw just 2 suckers. After fishing all day, on the way back, saw the eyes, 4 pike, 2 smallie, one huge largemouth,  and a couple dozen suckers. This was in 1/4 mile.  Amazing how things can change in a few hrs in spring. Also, turtles coming out all over the place. A big snapper was crossing the road, got out and carried it across so it wouldn't get run over. It didn't appreciate the help. Took a big stinky pee on my leg and shoe. Now my truck smells like turtle pee. It's horrible stuff

Deep south...
