Nod Brook WMA - Upper Pond 04/11
Message:
I was supposed to meet mep21 (aka Mark) at Nod Brook WMA at 4:00 pm, but after spending 5-1/2 hours working on my federal income tax return, I'm still not done with it, so I wasn't able to go. However, at 5:15 pm, I had to take my daughter to her karate class, so I had about 45 minutes to kill and headed over there. I ended up getting to paddle and fish from 5:40 pm to 6:25 pm. It was only partly sunny and there was a gentle south breeze, but it was beautifully warm. Mark was in the upper (i.e., south) pond, and had caught a decent chain pickerel and a small largemouth bass on his Texas rigged Baby Brush Hog, I think. I still had my white perch lures tied on, and decided to stick with them and just pull up some panfish. We started fishing the dropoff before the shallows on the south end of the pond, but didn't get anything. After 20 minutes, I told Mark that my "go to" spot is in front of the old beaver lodge on the north end of the east shore and we worked our way down the east shore toward it. I got there first, and pulled up a sunny and a nine inch black crappie, but then I had to run to pick up my daughter. As I paddled back toward my car, Mark yelled that he got a rock bass on his Brush Hog. Hopefully, he pulled up a bunch more before he had to take off.

I retired when my wife took a job in Hartford and we moved out here from Chicago 5-1/2 years ago. So, yeah, I get to fish all of the time. :D I'm the luckiest person I know.
