Batterson Park Pond 05/23
Message:
After spending the past three days in Manhattan, I just had to go fishing during the break in the weather that we had today. I launched in The Other Woman at 9:00 am and fished until 1:00 pm. When I launched, the sky was totally overcast and the air temperature was in the mid 60s. There was no wind at all; the water was like glass. Although I putzed around with a wacky rigged Senko a couple of times, I mostly trolled around the pond. I tried several different Rapalas, but the one that got most of the bites was a Perch Shad Rap SR-7. In fact, I caught my first fish at 9:45 am, right after I tied it on and threw it out behind my boat: [img:2ed5c9af94]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/4498/img2496cropped.jpg[/img:2ed5c9af94] [img:2ed5c9af94]http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/9889/img2497cropped.jpg[/img:2ed5c9af94] Wally! Whoo hoo! :D And only 15 minutes later, the Perch Shad Rap got me a white perch: [img:2ed5c9af94]http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/8246/img2498cropped.jpg[/img:2ed5c9af94] I also trolled a Yellow Perch Crankin' Rap CRR-5, but it got only a rock bass: [img:2ed5c9af94]http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/617/img2499cropped.jpg[/img:2ed5c9af94] After the Perch Shad Rap got another rock bass, I threw a wacky rigged five inch Senko for a while and got a short largemouth bass: [img:2ed5c9af94]http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/4143/img2501cropped.jpg[/img:2ed5c9af94] It wasn't until the sun peeked out a bit from behind the clouds, the temperature rose to the low 70s and the wind rose a bit out of the south that the Perch Shad rap got a cannibalistic yellow perch: [img:2ed5c9af94]http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4641/img2503cropped.jpg[/img:2ed5c9af94] I got only another yellow perch with a Perch Jointed Shad Rap JSR-5 before I got off of the water. But, man, it was great to get out there again. :D

Hey Phil, wondered where you've been for a couple days :lol: I have that same damn shad rap, never caught anything on it. Maybe here in Ct it'll work. One more day of work this week, then 4 days off 8) Friday we're off to the DMV to register our boat and trailer, then it's relaxing for the rest of the weekend.
