Nod Brook WMA 11/18
Message:
I went to Nod Brook WMA today. Again. I arrived at 8:10 am with The Kitchen, El Habaņero and The Other Woman. The air temperature was in the mid 40s. The forecast was for sunny skies and winds out of the north/northwest. Unfortunately, the skies were overcast and the winds were out of the south. The water level was high, about a foot higher than it was two days ago. Daryl (aka Daryl) arrived shortly after I. We took our time and launched into the lower (i.e., north) pond at about 8:45 am, Daryl in El Habaņero and I in The Kitchen:

Shortly after we hit the water, I landed a 10 inch largemouth bass:

It thought that it was a smallie and caught one and a half feet of air on the way to the boat. Daryl and I had been throwing chartreuse spinnerbaits over the now submerged weeds in the south end of the pond, but the bass picked up a wacky five inch green pumpkin/red flake Senko off of the bottom. I continued to throw the spinnerbait and the wacky Senko as the brisk south wind pushed us to the channel on the north end of the pond. Neither of us got anything and the wind was blowing pretty strongly, so we decided to work our way back to the south end of the pond along the east shore to get out of the wind. Unfortunately, neither of us got any more action before Daryl had to leave. We got off of the water at 10:15 am.
After Daryl left, I put The Kitchen back on the roof of my Saab and replaced the spinnerbait with a Texas rig. I launched into the upper (i.e., north) pond in El Habaņero at 10:45 am. TurtleKiss (aka Kira) showed up as I was fishing off the south shore of the north island. She launched in The Other Woman at 11:00 am:

And shortly after that, Cots6 (aka Mason) showed up:

Hey, Mason! He had only a short time to fish and was waiting for a buddy to show up, so he stuck to fishing from the shore. I'm not sure whether he or his buddy caught anything before they left, but I landed a 13 inch largemouth bass shortly after he arrived:

It picked up the wacky Senko off of the bottom near the beaver lodge on north end of the east shore. Meanwhile, Kira was back on the skunk, after not showing the proper respect to Gary Yamamoto on her facebook page. We fished around the pond for a few hours, but didn't get anything. I decided to head back to the beaver lodge and caught a 12 inch largemouth bass:

And, yes, it picked up the wacky Senko off of the bottom. Just after 3:00 pm, Daryl showed up again. Kira and I got off the water to make a few casts from shore with him. After he left at 4:00 pm. Kira and I hit the water again. She said, "I will not leave until I catch a fish." Luckily, just after sunset at 4:40 pm, she landed her first ever fallfish:

Of course, it picked up a wacky Senko off of the bottom. Go figure. All in all, it was a nice, if blustery, day out on the water. Unfortunately, however, my day didn't end well. After I arrived home and was unhooking my trailer, I caught a faint whiff of what I thought smelled like burning rubber. Then I noticed two drops of oil on the garage floor behind my car. When I took a look under the car, it was raining oil from the engine. Apparently, I damaged my oil pan on the way out of Nod Brook. I must have hit a rock with the pan. Guess what I'll be doing all day tomorrow.

Hi Phil!
First time you've posted pictures without a smile -> Too cold Huh!
Ouch! Good thing you wheren't to far from home before finding that oil leak!
The Saab - Huh!? -> Oof! -> Hope the cost of repair doesn't eat-up the down payment on kayak #4 :!: :shock:
Had the serpentine belt on my Dodge Dakota pick-up break coming home one night from West Hill.
Luckly was only 2 miles from the house. Went very slow till I got home towing my boat.
Not fun! Auto repairs -> What a pain!
Hey Kira :!: "Cute hat" ------> That's it -> No other comment! :D :wink: -> Too close to Christmas to get thrown off the Christmas card list :!: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Best regards,
SeaDog1
