Evening Panfish Bite 5/12

After fishing Bunnells Pond, I worked my way up to the upper part of Beardsley Park along the Pequonnock. Stuck with the 7cm perch Original Floater and got a 10" rainbow on it. Had a few swirls while playing topwater with it in shallow areas. I then headed down to the Wonderland of Ice and Glenwood Park. When I hit my first spot, I was into those aggressive redbreasts. Just by doing a few little twitches and jerks on the surface, those redbreasts were going crazy for it. One even had the entire front treble in its mouth! Also got a dinky largemouth. After 4 redbreasts and that 1 largemouth, I moved over to the Chopsey Hill Rd bridge. That's where I decided to do some jigging with a 1/16oz white maribu. For the 30 minutes I was at that spot doing the jigging and some retrieving, I hit a total of 4 rock bass and 3 crappie. Also lost 2 crappie. Biggest crappie was 13" 14oz [img:1595918eca]http://i1174.photobucket.com/albums/r614/mvsimko/13inch14ozCrappieatGlenwoodPark5-12-12.jpg[/img:1595918eca] One of the rock bass was a new PW which I'll put on the PW thread. Hit the road around 8:30pm I have a feeling that with some of the recent rains Bridgeport has had, there was a run off from Bunnells Pond.
