My Local Trout Pond 04/23
Message:
It's not really a secret where my local trout pond is, but I'll be coy to keep the lurkers at bay. I went down to the pond to catch a couple of stockies for lunch. I took my daughter's setup with me, which is an inexpensive Daiwa spinning reel that's spooled with eight pound P-Line Fluoroclear line on a St. Croix Legend spinning rod. I threw a two inch white curlytail grub on a 1/16 ounce round jighead. I wandered around for a while, looking for the stockies. They weren't near the outflow for the pond. There was only one other fisherman who had one trout on a stringer that he caught with a worm under a bobber in the middle of the pond. I headed over to the inflow for the pond and found the fish. I got several hits on the grub jig, but no hooksets. I think the hits were from small rainbows and small brookies that just pulled on the tail of the grub. So I switched over to a small black inline spinnerbait (i.e., roostertail), in order to get a small treble hook at the back of the lure. I finally landed a 12 inch brown: [img:357f27e7c7]http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/9194/img2067ji.jpg[/img:357f27e7c7] The next one, a 13 incher, came on the next cast: [img:357f27e7c7]http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/3596/img2068q.jpg[/img:357f27e7c7] I couldn't leave after only a few minutes of action, but added two more browns to my stringer, 14 and 16 inchers, within 10 minutes. Here's the 16 incher: [img:357f27e7c7]http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7407/img2070zp.jpg[/img:357f27e7c7] [img:357f27e7c7]http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/1210/img2072e.jpg[/img:357f27e7c7] I took home the stringer of four fish: [img:357f27e7c7]http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/6645/img2071ms.jpg[/img:357f27e7c7] I threw the 16 incher on the grill for lunch: [img:357f27e7c7]http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/5711/img2073j.jpg[/img:357f27e7c7] It was delicious. And I'm stuffed. :D Stockies are really, really dumb. :roll:
