My goal is to get the grass in the front yard to fill in all the cracks that formed due to rain run-offs... I newly seeded late last fall and I got more veins in the front yard than I care to mention. Gonna be a tough one with such a high pitch -

Fish - Wise = I still can't fish like I used to, but with another possilbe push of large fish this year, I'm going to make myself available to them.


....and get another job that doesn't involve being on call ////...

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Have you tried putting that straw material (it rolls out like carpet) down over the seeds? My friend had a new home built and the front yard sloped towards the street. When they first seeded, the seeds all washed down the street after the first rain. Then the builder re-seeded and put the straw stuff on top and it held the seed pretty well. It also helps keep the moisture on the seeds. The stuff decays into the lawn over time and dissapears. You can probably pick it up at any garden center or Lowes/HD.

I'll definately have to look into that - thanks

It's been these monsoons we've been having last fall & recently. Do you think the rivers of rain will ride over this "carpet"?

Man I hope it works - once it fills in, I should be ok.


Thanks again -

No problem. I think it will definitely help. It worked wonders for my friends lawn. Here is a link that shows what the straw mat does.

I'm sure somewhere local sells the same thing or another brand. Good luck with the lawn. I love spring because of the fishing, but I hate the yardwork and landscaping that goes along with it.

Well I'm still winding down from my other season of skiing. My goal was to get 30 days in and I'm up to 21 with this weekend and maybe one more I think I'll hit 25.

As far as fishing.

Break #30 from the shore. I was getting close by the end of last year.

Do more with the fly rod. Getting a keeper would be great.

Fish with a few members from this site.

Explore more of the North Shore which is some what new for me.

Get to Cuttyhunk. It's time.

My biggest goal is enjoy every second I am able to spend on the water and not take anything for granted. Other than that I'm looking forward to fishing with my friends and family. As far as poundage goes I'm happy with catching anything that fights me. This year is going to my first with eels. I've heard they catch big fish Not going away with the plugs though because they keep me moving and my ADD makes waiting for fish to bite bait very painful.
