Hatch Pond 6am-330pm Water Temp started at 56, ended 64.3 by far the weirdest day of fishing i have had in a while got to the lake and launched to find clear water, an empty parking lot, and tons of grass and scum. the pads are just stating to come in and i thought i would have a good shot at a pig. fished shallow and flipped jigs into grass and a topwater frog, nada. first fish was a crappie on a small deep dunning crankbait. then nothing for an hour so i was getting annoyed and decided a re-evaluation was necessary. started jigging deeper water with laydowns and rock and got a couple of 1-2#. this started to suck....so i went bedfishing. probably 10 bass on fishstix 7" biggest being almost three#. most of the beds were empty and i was pretty sure that i was catching males because the weather pushed the girls off a bit. i kept picking off small males beacuse it was easy then got bored and started to look for the girls again. going back to a crank bait i got more small keepers. also fished a chiger craw t-rigged with a 3/4 oz weight and got more small bass and another close to 3. after all that, only having a dead trolling motor i wrapped it up at 330. didnt count but north of 20 fish, best five for 11# or so. now the weird part. at one point i hear a bang at the bottom of the boat, and i look as a snapping turtle picked the wrong spot to surface. i was almost killed by an over protective swan twice, saw some large bird attack a squirrel and finally, watched to snappers' do the dirty deed in the area i was fishing...have pics post later...no pics of fish...wasn't really anything great but i did get to break in my new Fenwick rod which is sweet... The Elite techs are awesome. it was a good but strange day
