Thanks for the report, gal. We have been having some beautiful weather here in NELA too, in a repeating pattern that goes like this: 3-4 days beautiful sun ... 2-3 days of overcast/light rain as a cool front comes through and leads us back to 3-4 days of sun.

We had several inches of rain the last 2 weeks of December, which brought new water into our ponds and bayou. I've caught two messes of fish that have been filleted and put in the freezer.

Has anyone noticed the price of catfish in the stores????? Good grief, last night at Sam's it was over $7/lb. Thank heaven I can catch bass, crappie and catfish to my heart's content.

Yes, the price of everything including fish is really up. We don’t have much selection in our tiny town either. It’s frozen and unless it is marked where it comes from I won’t buy it.

The fish and steaks cost about the same. We eat canned salmon or tuna, since we were able to stock up on that as part of our emergency preparedness.

We have been talking about how we could raise some sort of fish, on our extra lot, but just talking for now.

Thats nice to know, I have a pond full of the fl spotted cat fish.. UMMMM, That sounds good for dinner.. My sister is coming for a visit and fried cat fish sounds great! Thanks!
I have been feeding these fish for some unknown reason, Time for some payback... They stand on their tails and chow down on all the floating food!

I noticed the price of cookies have also gone up. Well, make that the package size has decreased with the price remaining the same. Good grief, who ever heard of a 9 oz package of cookies? But I saw more than one brand has reduced to 9 oz. Heard the same from a Walmart clerk. Better get those transplants started and increase the size of our garden areas to keep up with rising prices. Hey, anyone know of a good high yield cookie seed?
