Friday I was originally supposed to hit the Housy with my dad later in the evening after me doing some local surf casting. But when I'm just finished eating at a local bagel place, my dad calls saying change in plans. That meant ride my bike back home to switch gear and head out to Mondo, arriving around 4:15.

Stuck with a combination of different Husky Jerks and topwaters.

Not too long after starting with a Helsinki Shad HJ-6, I landed a pickerel under a pound.

Kept covering water and landed another pickerel.

Once I got to certain section, I played with a few topwaters. 1 spot was where I had a hit on a Rebel Frog R and another spot I had a hit on a custom made pumpkin green buzzbait.

Later in the evening was when I seemed to have been into a school of yellows. Landed a nice 10" 9 ounce fish, had 2 hits, and lost 1. That was with a gold HJ-8.

As I'm into the yellows, wind had picked up before it became overcast out. Things became more suspicious as I covered more water. By the time I went to a cove to play with topwater, I had to get going due to a storm approaching, calling it a night just before 7.

Got lucky with the storm, cause right as I get onto the bus to head back to the bus terminal, the rain started pouring! Lots of lightning along the very coast.

How do you even get into Mondo Pond? Looks like there's nothing but houses around it.
