Spring Pond 03/31
Message:
After spending three days in Boston without fishing, I had to get out on the water, today. I fished Spring Pond in El Habaņero from about 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm, when the drizzle started to turn into rain. The water level in the pond is almost back to normal. It's four feet lower than it was the first time that I was there on the open water this year with jonnyfly00 (aka Jon). There was a light south wind, which was different from the usual north, northwest or west wind that always seems to be there. I stayed mainly in the south cove, although I did a slow circuit of the south island. I ended up catching three small keeper largemouth bass. One was 13 inches and two were 14 inches long: [img:decd6706f9]http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/9130/20110331springpond001.jpg[/img:decd6706f9] [img:decd6706f9]http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/2708/20110331springpond002.jpg[/img:decd6706f9] [img:decd6706f9]http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7577/20110331springpond003.jpg[/img:decd6706f9] I caught the first and third bass while dragging a wacky five inch green pumpkin/red flake Senko over the bottom and through the milfoil that's now only one to two feet below the surface of the water. I caught the second one on a Texas-rigged Sweet Beaver that TurtleKiss (aka Kira) gave to me last year. Yes, that's a rubber bobber stop and a big ass bullet weight above the hook. Luckily, the hook was very sharp, because my hookset was very weak. I thought that I was just dragging it through some milfoil when it began to slowly pull back. Here's a video that I took right before I headed off the water: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyCznrn4fZw[/youtube] The bass are definitely starting to bite, now. I can't wait for this crappy weather to clear.

Phil - here's a tip for you. If you want to keep the bullet weight from sliding up and down the line, shove a toothpick in the back side of the weight, then break the remaining off. That will keep it pegged without putting a stop in front of the weight. That stop probably still picks up weeds, right?
