3 ponds, great day/bite
Message:
This makes three weeks ina row that this cock smooch beats me for lunker on the slammer.... He's only good for a few fish a trip on it but there's always a 5+.... We got to pond 1 a little before sun up and commenced fishing big baits in the wind that was kicking up. A 1/2 dozen casts and I hook into a 3 14 on the 9in perch that absolutely destroyed the bait. [img:cdfa33433c]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/moneyslap07/CIMG0944.jpg[/img:cdfa33433c] We keep along and anthony hooks up in the middle of the pond (5fow) I get the net all set and he brings it boatside... a 4lb pickerel... I hit it off the lure and tell him to catch a real fish. :D Little further down and we start hitting fish like crazy on the slammer- problem was most were under 2 lbs. I hook up again, the fish just inhales the bait very ninja like :lol: We were both watching the bait and it just sorta disapeared with no splash. 3 12 [img:cdfa33433c]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/moneyslap07/CIMG0947.jpg[/img:cdfa33433c] We go along and catch a few more 12-14in bass on the monster jack, 7in xx, and 9in original. At one point I watch anthony set the hook on a small bass and haul him in, we here a splash and my 9in perch is now hooked up to a 15inch pickerel.... it was over the side of the boat. Few laughs and were back to catching fish. [img:cdfa33433c]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/moneyslap07/CIMG0948.jpg[/img:cdfa33433c] Anthony hooks up and im excited for him after two HEAVY 3's and readily grab the net. After a short battle with a brute of a bass, I see her flash and turn sideways under the boat and get nervous that I could F**K up the net job. I land her and let out a sigh of relief. 5 11 and a new PB for anthony- fish was short and stout- only 20.5in long :beer: :beer: Good work buddy!! [img:cdfa33433c]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/moneyslap07/CIMG0952.jpg[/img:cdfa33433c] I seal the deal a few minutes later with a measly 4 1..... :ph34r: [img:cdfa33433c]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/moneyslap07/CIMG0954.jpg[/img:cdfa33433c] 19.5lb bag from pond 1. Pond 2 Windy, sunny, and a clear water. We hit this next pond that has virtually no weed growth besides shallow grass and lots of mud/rocks. Dropshot was the plan of attack- shallow with the slammer in the AM and pick up a few in the late morning deeper. Well I hit two 1/2oz white spinnerbait fish in the first 10 minutes and both were 2lbers, they shoulda went 1.5 for there length but they were quite obese and I thought the fall bite was on. It was not, anthony managed to dropshot up an equal size fish on a dropoff (5fow to 9fow) and then dropped a fish while vertical jigging in 18fow- fish made it 3/4 of the way up to the boat and came unbuttoned- no site confrimation. The wind was gusting 20+ and I found myself wishing I had a hud. Pond 3 Shallow, windier, sunny. Lots of weeds/ few half descent pieces of standing timber with a 6-8foot deep channel. We flip pads and frog the first 20 minutes and the wind/trolling motor issues have me rather flustered. I pick up two on the bico/otter (both small) and decide to toss a spinnerbait while drifting down this shallow paddy pond (should make a great early morning buzzfrog lake, if I liked that stuff) and come up empty. We head back up after getting pissed off (dropped a bico overboard and had some trouble with some poorly made peg-its) and im tossing the rat and cranking it down through this channel. I finally get a beautiful hit, swing, and miss.... Anthony has discovered that a texas rigged senko on a 5/0 hook makes for a mean soft jerkbait! He catches a pickerel and shakes off a few small bass. I am very impressed with the action of the senko- just as good if not better then a fluke/houdini shad. Long day and im tired- going fishing tmw morning if the conditions look good/I wake up (need a partner in the meriden area, call me 376-8022.) Thanks and tight lines, Nick P
