So it's been a great long while since I made a post here. Things finally warmed up and I'd really rather spend my time actually fishing than writing about it. However the fates have smitten me down with a vigorous case of the poofruits, and now here I sit, trying to remember a month and a half of fishing trips. I will forgo my usual meandering prose (or at least try to) and just get down to the real meat of the outings.
After finding shallow bass at "The Usual Place" that were eager to eat Slug-Gos, I thought I would check out C Pond for some of it's larger bass. However it had rained all night and was threatening a repeat performance that afternoon. The road to C Pond is slick, so I opted for smaller fish and a safer venue and go to L Pond. As I was getting set up a mom dropped off some lunatic children to try swimming in the 60 degree water. They didn't last long. 60 degrees should have invited some good bass action, but sadly it was a rather meager day. I caught 16 largemouth and 1 rainbow. I did take a few from shoreline brush on Slug-gos, but they also hit spider jigs, small Diawa cranks and a small Bass Pro Shops XPS lipless crank. Some passing storm cells kicked up and brought cold, cloudly, windy weather. Overall it was a pretty dismal day, and seeing as the fish were all under a foot, I didn't feel it worth pulling out the camera to capture any of those 17 moments.
Final Tally: 16 Largemouth Bass, 1 Rainbow Trout
Year Tally: 311 Fish
