Stub Pond 07/14
Message:
I had some time to kill while my son was at his kempo karate class this evening, so I shore fished Stub Pond for the first time from 6:50 pm to 7:35 pm. It's just a retention pond with a small spillway dam. It was drained dry last year, so I wasn't expecting much. I threw a Zoom Horny Toad on a red Gamakatsu 4/0 Offset Shank Worm EWG hook. The part of the pond that I fished is narrow and long, so I was able to cast all the way across the pond as I walked up the shore. The weeds along the shore were pretty slimy, so I had to bury the tip of the hook in the frog. I got a lot of hits from small largemouth bass and soon learned to pretty much ignore them. However, I also got hits from five keeper largemouth bass and there was no mistaking them. All of them thought that they were smallies. :D I had an absolute blast. I didn't have a tape measure or scale with me, but only the first one was close to not being a keeper. The last of the five was the biggest and probably weighed around three pounds: [img:5baef744d0]http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1434/img0785hn.jpg[/img:5baef744d0] [img:5baef744d0]http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/161/img0786gw.jpg[/img:5baef744d0] [img:5baef744d0]http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/8751/img0788t.jpg[/img:5baef744d0] [img:5baef744d0]http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7618/img0789yj.jpg[/img:5baef744d0] [img:5baef744d0]http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6418/img0791rz.jpg[/img:5baef744d0] I love frogging! :D

That wouldn't happen to be right on Rt 44 Would it? When I worked in Avon 2 years ago, I pulled over to this pond right on 44 and it had a little spill way damn thingy. Didn't catch anything in it, but it was really shallow. it had a brick utility house and a dirt road and small parking area... a real pain to get back on the road during evening rush hour.
