Super User roadwarrior Posted May 6, 2012 Super User Posted May 6, 2012 Well, I haven't been fishing the local ponds other than a few trips to Collierville. My last several visits to Grove have not produced much of anything, and no size at all. The issue, I think, is just too many guys are fishing it now and a few have been taking some of our prizes. Anyhow, this morning I downsized to a Rage Baby Craw tipped in chartreuse JJs. My first bite was a small buck bass. At 7:10 I finally got smacked. The fat girl popped the craw as I lifted it just off the bottom. Made a good run and classic jump before being landed. The fish's tail was tipped red, I'm guessing on bed or just off...Could have something to do with the Supermoon...She looked big enough to go 8, but she was light. Quote
Super User Sam Posted May 6, 2012 Super User Posted May 6, 2012 Outstanding! Congrats. Wish you posted a picture. Pond fishing is always great and Rage Tail Craws are excellent baits for ponds. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 6, 2012 Super User Posted May 6, 2012 Awesome RW! I caught a fatty this morning to. Slight redness on the tail, but I think my girl had already done her business! Congrats. We will get together soon! Jeff Quote
