Ok, we finally got some decent weather here in PA and I was able to fish for a couple of hours on both Saturday and Sunday in some local ponds. I was trying out my new Accurist and I was determined to hook something this weekend. Saturday, I started out slow rolling a spinnerbait through whatever structure I could find, and managed to have one come up and slap at it...no hook up though. After throwing this for a while with no luck, I switched over to a LC Pointer. This is the first time I have ever seen one of these in the water and I must say that I was impressed with the action. At the end of the evening, I had a pickerel follow the pointer up to the bank, miss it three different times and then....BAM!!! He completely smashes the jerk. Needless to say, brought a smile to my face after going fishless for the last whole month.
Sunday, I forced myself to slow down and fish a shakey head, 1/8th oz with a Zoom finesse worm (pumpkin/blue fleck). Lo and behold, I caught two green backs out of some laydowns. Another first for me as I had never fished shakies before. Once again, big smile at the end of the night.
With colder weather in the forecast, this might be the last for a while. All you southern guys, keep hammerin' them.
