Spring Pond & Batterson Park Pond (8/13/10)
Message:
Hit up Spring Pond at around 6:15 a.m. this morning. Fished the Western Shore, I think it's the Culvert Launch, and was unproductive. I opened the day with repel popper w/ white skirt and didn't even get a swirl. Fished about 3 different spots then switched to texas rigged weighless worm. Fished about 4 different colors working different angles and still, no fish. Moved on to other spots while walking back and fourth working the same locations with different presentations. Nothing worked. Switched to a wacky rigged pumpkin senko and got no hits on that either. Pretty discouraged at this point. At about 9:45, switched it up to a weighted texas rigg and still didn't get any hits. Fished that for about an hour in different spots while fishing a rapala minnow while twitching, and you know what's gonna come next....no fish. About 11:00, I went up to Batterson to try my luck there. Fished near the boat launch and it had tons of weeds and didn't manage to catch anything in about an hour. Finally, I drove around to the other side of the lake and fished in the Northern cove and East of the beach area and didn't catch a thing. Fished with about 8 different presentations and about 5 different techniques. Stopped fishing after 2 hours at Batterson. Fished from 6:15ish a.m. to 1:00 p.m. without a single bite, hookset, or FISH! I don't know what I'm doing wrong, nothing I am doing is seeming to work. It was still fun but, not catching anything in my past 5 outings is extremely, extremely pathetic. I don't know what's going on or what I am doing wrong or if I should even keep fishing. I'm at the lowest of lows.

Ouch... That's discouraging. I'm charged with taking out my wife's young cousins tomorrow late morning/early afternoon and those are the two places I was considering. Right now I'm leaning towards Spring Pond because at least it's a nice area and we can have a picnic or something if no fish are biting... I wouldn't want them getting stuck with a needle at Batterson :shock: I was planning on targeting Pickerel at Spring Pond and power-fishing the place with spinner baits and maybe a devil's horse. Both work very well even at this time of year on southern Champlain, but then again this is a completely different animal. I know it's pretty hot out but at least with these two baits we'll have the option of slowing down if nothing hits them fast. I think I'd better take some nightcrawlers for the kids, just in case.... At any rate, thanks for the heads up!
