Sunday morning fun
Last weekend, I checked out a find I made - a small little pond
(former gravel pit) - all of 2 acres. I only had an hour to fish, but
managed a 15 and 16" LM in that time, fishing from shore.
Today I went back w/ the little boat. I got on the water about 6.30,
and by 7.30, I had boated three - 2 LM and a Rock Bass.
The fish were holding tight to shore, it the rock/concrete rip-rap, or
in the brush/weeds of shore line that wasn't rip rapped. I got 3 on a
Baby Bass SW, hooked and lost 2 more, also had a hit/ miss on a SW
buzzbait in some thin emergent weeds.
Soft plastics also produced - 1 (15.5") on a stick bait sent to me by
Bob La Londe, and two on stick baits from Randy. I wacky rigged were I
could - weedy shore lines, but after hanging up in wood and rip rap -
switched to T rig. Missed a few to boot.
Biggest was 15.5", while the smallest was 14". The Rock Bass went
10-11".
Had the whole pond to myself. Deepest water I found was 10'.
Quit a little after 11.00.
