 |
|
Tuesday I hit one of my local small ponds starting around 11:45am.
First cast out with a 6cm Husky Jerk and I get a dinky bass. Stayed with the Husky Jerk for a while and caught 1 more bass.
Switched over to a small 2" soft plastic worm rigged with 2 trout hooks. Did a slow walk the dog just beneath the surface and had plenty of bluegills and bass coming to grab it. After landing 2, I decided to try a steady retrieve on the surface by just skipping it. Bass were exploding on it!
After catching a total of 5 bass up to just over a pound with that small worm, I lost it on a tree.
Switched over to a bigger 6" black Texas rigged worm. Bass were going crazy for that too but couldn't get them to grab the hook.
But once I cast right along the edge of bushes in shallow cover, I get a huge explosion and the fight is on!
I was able to drive it out of all the bushes and landed a 6.25 pound pig!
Once I let it go, I was hungry so I headed back for a bite to eat. |

She has a belly on her for sure. It looks like she swallowed a baseball!  Nice fish!

The area I caught it in was active with splashes and swirls. Plenty of bluegills for these bass to feed on. |

Plenty of marshy bushes along the shore that grow in the water where bass like to hang out. |
