Twin Brooks Park 5/10
Message:
Arrived at Twin Brooks Park around 12:30pm Thursday and worked the usual areas of all ponds for 5 hours. My first spot was where I started by playing with different Rapalas. Original Floaters didn't show much interest. Too weedy for a Jointed Shad Rap. Nothing showed interest in a 8cm Husky Jerk. Had a few followers and a hit with a custom painted 6cm X-Rap Shad Shallow. No followers or hits with a 8cm perch Flat Rap. I stuck mostly with the X-Rap Shad Shallow but still didn't get into anything. Also tried playing topwater with Original Floaters and a few different retrieves with the Husky Jerk. Later when I was at the spot that was producing the perch and pickerel for me earlier this year, I got a 14" pickerel on a 8cm glass minnow Husky Jerk. No perch, bass, or trout were interested where I caught the brown back in February. No pickerel hit at my usual little pickerel pond. Saw a guy throwing a Rebel Pop R who I saw last time I was there. He was getting a few hits on the surface but no hook ups. I started throwing a baby bass Heddon Tiny Torpedo and had a number of hits but no hook ups. Later when I got to where 2 brooks meet at on of the ponds, I decided to switch over to my trusty 4cm silver shad Jointed Shad Rap. Hit a total of 1 largemouth and 3 rainbows. Largemouth was under a pound and 2 rainbows were keepers. I eventually lost 1 of the bows to a snapping turtle that later came back for the other one that was on my stringer but noticed it in time before the turtle took it. Had a few other hits on the Tiny Torpedo in my usual shallow weedy areas of one of the ponds but no hook ups. I guess the front that swept through yesterday and the howling winds today made the fish go deeper and had them on a more cautious bite today.
