Arrived at Twin Brooks around 1:15pm. Conditions seemed favorable for a good bite, with skies overcast, humid air, light southerly flow, lingering showers, and 3 low pressures in the area with a warm front to the north and cold front to the west.
Started with the stacked up bluegills. Threw a number of soft plastics to find them sometimes wanting 1 and then wanting something else. Landed a total of 2 with 1 being a bull.
Saw a few largemouths lurking around so I threw a Texas rigged Berkley Havoc Sick Fish Jr, weightless 3" pumpkin green tube, silver FLR-6, sunset tiger J-7, and the custom spinner. Bass weren't interested but lost a yellow perch with the spinner.
Covered area at the upper pond where I got into more gills with the soft plastics, landing a total of 6 with 3 being bulls.
Headed over to the main pond which is where I stuck mostly with the spinner. Landed a 7" redbreast and lost a cookie cutter. Played with a number of lures by the fountains but niente.
When I start casting with the spinner at the larger pond where 2 brooks feed in, I see a nice swirl on the first cast. Next cast is when I set the hook in that area. Felt lots of tugging as if I had a nice pickerel on. Landed a healthy 19.5" perfect 2 pounder.
No other hits or followers so I moved on seeing it was just after 6pm.
2 lures I stuck with were the spinner and the SW-8. 1 spot had a fish swipe the spinner and another spot is where I lost a cookie cutter on the spinner.
Hit the hidden pond until it was time to leave.
The spot I caught the pickerel at has history of producing pickerel around 2 pounds, esp when the water is cooler and flowing. 2 brooks feed in and has a quick drop off with lots of brush. |

| Looks like that pickerel is about to eat that person in the background! |

I noticed the same thing Tuesday night LOL
Pickerel can be very aggressive and feisty for their size vs their bigger relatives. |
