Alright... well it was like 65 degrees out, exremely windy. i was thinking, hey I don't think its ideal but i haven't been fishing in a while. So I grab some hooks, tiki stiks, and my hawgsauce, and of course my rods and headed off to the pond. Ok, so i was going to wacky rig the tiki sticks and make a very slow retrieve... i casted out, dropped my rod, and casted out with another rod. then i wait a bit and do a little hopping retrieve. Ok, first cast and i catch this:
It's pretty cool, since every time i get a fish on the first cast i have a good day. Well, after that fish, i just had some bites but missed hooksets (the idea of just letting the rods sit wasn't too smart). i did land these lunker slabs of snot moss, though!
1 dink, 2 hawgs.
This one put up a tough fight...
and does anybody want to identify this weed?
Ok well then a mother with her 2 autistic kids came over... she was very nice and asked if her kids could throw rocks, so i figured sure, I'll be a good person. The kids have their fun, talked a bit about fishing... i ended up persuading the mother to buy them some spincast combos and take em bluegill fishing at Assunpink.
ok well then i headed to the nice spot
and landed this, first cast into a littlle enclosure.
Then a few ducks passed by...
I headed down to the infamous fisherman's christmas tree, decorated with all sorts of lures... its a hard cast, but I've done it plenty of times. i got it down by now. here is the tree:
there is only one visible, but there are atleast 15 lures (including 2 of mine) up in that tree. Well, i casted right under it and landed this... had a random passerby take the pic. Looked much bigger in real life.
Well it was a nice day... really wasn't expecting a catch, but I'm getting good at this! Remeber the days when I'd be skunked on every outing... thanks for your help guys! And a special thanks to CB, because i beleive i would've been skunked was it not for his sauce.
