So my friend and I (he's a member here) went down and bought ourselves a 12 foot jon boat last night. We got up this morning and fished for about 2 hours on a small neighborhood pond. It was instantly gratifying to be able to reach all the spots we wanted to fish before, but couldn't because of no shoreline access. We did alright, catching 2 a piece, one of them was between 2 and 3 lbs which is not bad for that pond. We started getting a lot of bites fishing this laydown with a pumpkin/chartreuse worm. I hooked what seemed like a decent sized one there but he instantly dragged it down into the branches and my line snapped, oh well.
Great first day on the boat!
