Rare Catch at Bunnells Pond on Friday the 13th
Message:
Decided to cover some freshwater places today instead of heading back to Remington for the blues. Started off at the private lake around 4pm. When I got there I saw the water was an aqua blue color and could smell it! Saw a sign saying they put the pesticides in it. Stayed with that lake's main lure, the JSR-4. Color was bleeding pearl. Covered a few spots for about an hour and a half and caught 5 bass, 2 bluegills, and 1 pumpkinseed. Lost one bass and had a number of hits. All bass were in the 13" to 15" 1 to 2 pound range. Biggest bluegill was 8" 8oz. Later I went to Twin Brooks and started off at the cove at the main pond. Had no luck there so I went right over to the pond with the gazebo where I had no luck. Lures I was playing around with were just a shiner SSR-7 and a baby bass Tiny Torpedo. Later when I was at the upper part of the pond farther up on the right, I hit a 15" 1 pound pickerel with the Tiny Torpedo. Worked my way down that pond and saw 2 nice bass swimming together. Casted the Tiny Torpedo over them and did a jerking retrieve. They weren't interested in that so I casted again and did a slow steady retrieve. Right as the Tiny Torpedo was about to cross over them, one grabbed it. 15" 2 pounds 4 ounces.

Later I went to Bunnells Pond and started off at the island by playing topwater with the Tiny Torpedo. Nothing was interested in it so I moved on to a certain spot that sometimes produces this time of the year. The nice thing about the spot I moved to is it's right near the edge of weeds before becoming more non-weedy. There's also either a drop off or some extra depth in this honey hole. Started by casting with the bleeding pearl JSR-4. Had a few sunnies follow it. Switched over to a perch JSR-4 but no followers. Next lure was a grey pearl shiner Clackin Crank CNC-53. First cast out with it, fish on! I feel tugging as if I had a nice fish. Saw it make a jump and I couldn't believe what I had on! It wasn't giving up much of a fight. Made 1 more jump before doing a short run as I got it closer to shore and then landed it. 19" solid 5 pound largemouth bass at Bunnells Pond!!!!

I had a feeling it was feeding on small bluegills and pumpkinseeds that a guy near me was catching with worms. A 5 pound largemouth is a rare catch at Bunnells Pond these days! Another Rapala success!
