Stub Pond 06/22
Message:
After I dropped off my daughter at the dojo, I shore fished Stub Pond from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. There was only the barest hint of clouds in the sky. The air temperature was about 80 degrees and there was a steady five mile per hour west wind. The weeds have grown in fully since the last time I was there. I decided to start fishing from the power line that hangs across the pond to the shallows on east end of the pond: [img:785575dcc4]http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3907/qt8c.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] I threw a Bull Frog Booyah Poppin' Pad Crasher Frog as I worked my way along the south shore of the pond. I was able to cast it almost all the way across to the north shore. I made it to the east end of the pond without getting a single hit or swirl on it. And as I started heading back toward the powerline, I lost it to a tree on the other side of the pond. :twisted: I tied on a Bullfrog Zoom Horny Toad on a 4/0 Trokar Swimbait Hook, and worked my way past the power line and toward the spillway: [img:785575dcc4]http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/8215/3h8x.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] It wasn't until I approached the spillway at 11:40 am that I spooked a school of fish with the Horny Toad and finally got a hit on it. I set the hook and waterskied the largemouth bass back to shore over the weeds: [img:785575dcc4]http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/8099/u3hj.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] I fished from the spillway without getting another hit on the Horny Toad, so I swapped it out for a wacky rigged Pumpkin (Orange) with Large Black Flake five inch Senko with an O-ring on a Number 4 Gamakatsu Octopus Circle Hook, before heading back toward the power line. At 12:15 pm, I spooked another school of fish with it and got a bite from what turned out to be the lunker, a one pound, 13 ounce largemouth bass: [img:785575dcc4]http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/8213/fljh.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] I lost the orange Senko, so I put a Black Senko on the hook. At 12:37 pm, it also worked: [img:785575dcc4]http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4266/2ri4.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] I lost the black Senko, so I put a Watermelon Slice Laminate Senko on the hook. At 12:46, it worked, too: [img:785575dcc4]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/2664/jimo.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] At 12:57 pm, I got my "Just One More" only three minutes before I had to leave to pick up my daughter from the dojo: [img:785575dcc4]http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/417/lx55.jpg[/img:785575dcc4] After complaining about the cold all Winter, I hate to say this, but 80+ degree weather is too darned [i:785575dcc4][b:785575dcc4]HOT!
