Episode 23 – Some Spring Food Plot Options

This week we discuss options for your spring time plot. Summer feeding food plots are different than the attractant plots we crave in the fall. As such, your choice of seeds differ also. Depending on your location for your honey hole, different varieties of plants will thrive better than others.

I run through a list of common early season food plot plant varieties and explain which ones perform better under which conditions.

… now go get some seed and get that plot started…

Episode 22 – What’s Going On?

I decided to take some time this week to just talk about what’s going on.

I spend some time talking about updates to the show including the new site, the new Facebook page and when I plan on making the switch.

Next is an update on the food plot. Things have been slow due to the lack of rain but they are picking up now.

Fishing is also on the menu as the bass season is getting started.

Turkey hunting has to be talked about since youth weekend was this weekend and the season starts May 1st. I stink at turkey hunting so the chat isn’t very informative.

Last, I finish up with an update in the garden.

Thanks for listening!

Episode 21 – Its All About The Stripers

There is NOTHING like the spring spawning run of the Striped Bass (except for maybe the fall bass run :-) ). These monster fish can reach 125 lbs in it’s 30+ year life span with common catches in the 30-50lb range.

In this episode, I share just about everything I know about this prized game fish… Well, at least everything I could think of at the time.

Enjoy!

Episode 20 – Woodland Food Plot Basics

Let me start by saying that I was a bit off on this episode. I never pretend to be an expert at this podcasting thing but today I felt like I just started yesterday. It may have been the mention of my father. That still throws me for a loop when I think about it. The good thing is that nobody can fire me for doing a bad job and I have plenty of time to put together a better presentation.

Anywho… This episode is dedicated to food plots; mainly, woodland food plots. I try to explain what you need to think about when planning a food plot.
