Looking for the big one Posted December 29, 2016 Posted December 29, 2016 Good day with the Ima Flit 100 jerk bait, some sort of silver with a chartreuse belly color. The pond is very low, probably 2-2.5 feet below average. The fish weren't really schooling, but they were all holed deep in the same section of the pond. Caught probably 8 in an hour, a 2.5 was the biggest of the day and the rest were dinks. The big 4.5 pounder we've named Big Joanna was chasing two of the dinks as I reeled them up. The new Caenan is amazingly smooth and casted well in intense wind. For some background, this is not a strong bass pond. It could use some culling as well as some supplemental stocking(I'm thinking golden shiners), and also the spillwell needs to be fixed. It's a sweet place to catch some big bluegill though! 2 Quote
samwise2u Posted December 30, 2016 Posted December 30, 2016 Sounds fun! I love pond fishing, take the grandchildren to the neighbor hood pond on a regular basis to wet a hook. Quote
Looking for the big one Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 Thx! Went out again this morning for about 45 mins and got another healthy little bass on the jerkbait. I have been trying to master new techniques, and after getting some good confidence in the jerkbait, I traded out for a black and blue jig and caught my first ever jig fish! She was 5.5 pounds and built like a tank! 7 Quote

Looking for the big one Posted December 30, 2016 Author Posted December 30, 2016 She's grown a pound in about a year, and her body has grown to fit her head a little better. Quote
