Batterson Park Pond 05/14
Message:
I fished Batterson Park Pond from 1:15 pm to 4:30 pm. I'm still in pursuit of a tagged walleye, so I just trolled a couple of lures around. When I launched in The Other Woman, the sky was overcast and the air temperature was in the mid-60s. There was a light south wind that grew while I was on the water, but I really only felt it on the far north end of the pond near the dam. There was also an occasional light sprinkling of rain. I started trolling a Bluegill Rapala Shad Rap SR-7 and a Yellow Perch Rapala Shad Rap SR-5. As usual, the Yellow Perch got a cannibalistic yellow perch: [img:1be0a4e0f4]http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9883/img2411hb.jpg[/img:1be0a4e0f4] Then, of course, it got a rock bass: [img:1be0a4e0f4]http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/2217/img2412py.jpg[/img:1be0a4e0f4] After the Bluegill also got a rock bass, I swapped out the Yellow Perch for a Yellow Perch 3-5/8 inch Koppers LiveTarget Medium Dive crankbait. It was a while before the Bluegill got a walleye: [img:1be0a4e0f4]http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/6051/img2415i.jpg[/img:1be0a4e0f4] Then it got a white perch: [img:1be0a4e0f4]http://img641.imageshack.us/img641/81/img2416z.jpg[/img:1be0a4e0f4] And a black crappie: [img:1be0a4e0f4]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3431/img2417f.jpg[/img:1be0a4e0f4] I wanted to troll a little closer to the weedline, so I swapped out the Yellow Perch Koppers LiveTarget for a Perch Rapala Shallow Shad Rap SSR-7. It was a good choice, because it got another walleye: [img:1be0a4e0f4]http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/3228/img2418c.jpg[/img:1be0a4e0f4] It also got a couple of yellow perch before I got off of the water. The two walleye were nice, but I gotta get me another keeper! :D

I forgot to mention that the water temperature was 66 degrees when I launched and dropped to almost 63 degrees by the time that I got off of the water.
