   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I reviewed my email with some info from Facebook.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">I think the June bugs in the bass&#39; mouth was European<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Chafer Beetles, Rhizotrogus majalis.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Seems they are an invasive beetle that tend to swarm <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and are attracted to trees. They fall dead out of the swarm<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">at the end of their life and as the tree was over water were<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">available to the fish. Seems they are destructive to lawns.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Probably why farmers from the UK in old days planted<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">potatoes in a rotation wit oats. <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Always something new!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the summer<br/></span>

   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi All</span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Yesterday morning was so nice I went for a paddle<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">and a little fishing on a small favorite lake.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">This morning its raining cats and dogs so I&#39;ll tell you a story!<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">The Bass were playful yesterday so it was fun. One<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">of them about a 30 cm jobbie when I opened its mouth to<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">unbutton it had 4 or so Junebugs in its mouth and a couple <br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">stuffed in its throat. Or maybe they were some aquatic beetle<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">that looks like a Junebug. Does anyone know if such a beetle exists?<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">How the Junebugs got in the bass&#39; mouth is another story. Never<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">saw it before. Seems odd they would fall in the water.<br/></span>
  </div> 
  <div>
   <span style="font-size: 12pt;">Enjoy the nice rainy day - its good for the brooks!<br/></span>
