Nod Brook WMA 11/16
Message:
TurtleKiss (aka Kira) and I hit Nod Brook WMA again today, from 9:30 am to 4:45 pm. The air temperature was in the 50s and the sky was overcast all day. It rained from 1:15 pm to 2:45 pm and then from 4:00 pm to 4:45 pm, but it was really just a drizzle. The water temperature hung around 46 degrees. Kira was, to put it mildly, [i:1c9f976bb3]eager[/i:1c9f976bb3] to catch a largemouth bass. It was ladies' choice and she chose the upper (i.e., south) pond. Like yesterday, she pedaled The Other Woman and I paddled El Habaņero. Unlike yesterday, however, about 30 minutes after we got on the water, she very wisely asked for my sage advice on how she should fish the pond. 8) I told her to throw wacky rigged five inch green pumpkin/red flake Senkos. You didn't see that coming, did you? She was reluctant, but gave it a shot. And 30 minutes later, she pulled up this little fish:

Now [b:1c9f976bb3]THAT[/b:1c9f976bb3]'s the way to get a month's worth of skunk off of you! With a 21 inch, four pound, eight ounce largemouth bass, baby! Unfortunately, while the wacky rig was working for Kira, it wasn't working for me. I was trying my best to avoid catching the skunk when I caught this little otter, instead:

Sorry, that's the best I could do. I had the wrong lens, again, and it was very shy. Meanwhile, the wacky rig was still working for Kira and she caught a 13 inch largemouth bass:

It took a long time, but I finally got a nibble on my wacky rig. And on the next cast, I landed a 12 inch largemouth bass:

I later lost a 16 to 18 inch largemouth bass by the beaver lodge on the north end of the east shore. Much cursing followed that one. We threw some other lures besides the wacky Senkos, but all of the action was on the wacky Senkos. I threw a Texas rigged 10 inch Zoom Ol Monster swirlytail worm until something bit the swirly off of it. I also threw a half ounce War Eagle black and blue spinnerbait with double colorado blades, a six inch Creme worm on a Powerbait spoon jig and a Yum Mardi Gras (i.e., green/purple flake) tube. While we didn't catch another fish, and the weather turned a bit wet and cold, Kira's four and a half pounder made the whole day.
