Couldn't sleep so up before dawn and head to the pond. Weather had been 108-113 degrees all week, so when I walked outside and it was about 60 and overcast I decided I better grab a sweat shirt! Thought I would be in business with a zara puppy but... View Report

Had an hour to spare so I grabbed a bag of plastics and my dropshot rod and hit the pond. Fished 8:15a-9am for 5 bass, 3 little guys and 2 decent ones (12" & 14"). The tree shadows have been making the fish easier to find, not... View Report

Fished the pond from 8:15-10:15am with hopes of getting a nice one on the Producer Plug. Threw it for 45 mins, had 1 follower, then fished the dropshot the rest of the time. Landed 6 bass and 1 bluegill. 4 bass were little dinks, 2 were decent @... View Report

Took my son up to the pond again to try for the cats. Couldn't find mackerel, so I had to settle for a bag of sardines. Got bit right at dark but it didn't stick. 5 mins later got bit again. Catfish - no, turtle - no..... a Bass! On a frozen... View Report

Took my 10 yr old son up to the pond for the last hour of the day to get him out of the house. Unfortunately fishing is not in his blood for some reason and it is rare for him to agree to go with me. He fished for crappie and lost 2, while I... View Report

Back at the pond from 9am-11am. Picked up one bass on the scrounger on 2nd cast, then nothing for the next 45 mins... Hate that! Went to the dropshot and picked up 5 more. Nothing exciting, all fish were 10-11 inchers. Did see 2 bass in the 4 lb... View Report

Made it out once last week just before dark and caught 9 crappie at dusk, other than that haven't been out much. Saw the weather was fugly, june gloom w/ heavy drizzle / lt rain,  so thought it would be ideal for the plug. Only got 1 bite... View Report

Still field testing the BG pattern Producer Plug. Hooked up twice, once on video with the hat cam. The batteries were dead for the 2nd. Both fish in the 2.5-3lb range. Caught a couple of dinks in the 8-10" class on the plastic on the way back... View Report

Had about 30 mins to do some casting and wanted to see what some of the new baits I've been messing with would do in the water. I was very happy ! I had numerous fish follow me all the way to the rod tip and had one come out of no where and... View Report

I took the hat cam setup, only to have the batteries die after 20 mins! Of course this is when I was going to catch a big one.... Pond is super clear and full of weeds. You can see fish everywhere cruising over the top of the grass and lots of... View Report

Took the camera and video camera up from 11:45a-1:15p, but was disappointed to see the water greener than yesterday. Tried to shoot some video, but fewer fish up cruising, dirtier water, and the camera man's skills didn't make for great footage.... View Report

Fished 11:30a-1:30p today for a great quick trip. What a difference a couple of days make! There must have been 100 bass soaking up the sun in an area about 50' x 50' along with a handful of bluegills. About 60 or 70 of them were... View Report

Fished 3pm-7pm. Started thowing the 5" Producer Plug and had 6 followers, but no takers. One fish looked to be in the 5-6lb class so I was happy to see that. Went to a small Osprey swimbait, with the same results, although I did get... View Report

Fished 5pm-7pm, post front conditions (went from 90 on Tues to 50s on W/Th). Anyhow, back up to mid 60's and calm so gave it a try. Dropshot only gave up 1 fish and lost one, so I went to a jerkbait on tip from a friend. 1st and 2nd cast... View Report

More of the same- Had 45 mins to fish before taking my son to baseball practice, so I grabbed a rod, a couple hooks, and a bag of plastics. Got bit every other cast but I think they are all dinks. They are up on beds every 10 feet around... View Report

Fished 12pm-2pm for 7 bass and 1 crappie. All bass small, about 12 inches and the crappie was average. Sunny, breezy, and 72 degrees. Finally, I figured out how to get the bass at the pond to bite when they are feeding on 1" bluegill -... View Report

Back at the pond from 5:30pm-7:30pm, 74 degrees w/ marine layer. Still very tough to get bit! I split shotted 4" plastics, got 7 bites and only landed 4 bass. All little guys to top it off. The bigger fish were crashing the 1" bluegill... View Report

I had about an hour to spare from 3:30pm - 4:30pm, so I hit the pond. The wind was blowing pretty hard (15-20, gusts to 40mph) and the water had turned even dirtier than the last trip. Just to see what would happen, I threw a zara spook and... View Report

Where did spring go??? It feels like we went straight from winter into summer! It went from the 65 to 90 degrees almost overnight. I ran over to the pond and fished from 6:30pm - 7:15pm, saw some interesting things, but I only caught 1 crappie. I... View Report
