NEBassMan Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 Well, headed to the farm pond for only the second time this year, first time was last week. Only managed 1 dink last weekend. Today was very high winds, 30+ mph, so i left the boat at home and just fished from the bank. Went about 2 hours with nothing, not even a tug. Was throwing cranks and jerkbaits. Water is still about 55-60 degrees. I finally worked my way around to the East side of the pond and thought, what the heck, i'll throw a spinnerbait. First cast, WHAM, this baby loads up the rod. 3lbs - 2oz Threw the spinnerbait for a while longer with no other takers. Decided to work around to a point where there is a lot of submerged timber from an old beaver hut. I rigged up with a Chompers Brush Jig head with a 3" Black/Blue Yum Wooly Hawgtail, and pitched it in and around the cover. I had a hit, set the hook, and she took off, ended up wrapping me around a limb and i lost her. Continued to pitch in there for a while longer. Felt a tap tap. I reeled up the slack, lifted a little, felt pressure, so i drove the hook home. Off she went again, but this time i horsed her up, not letting her wrap me around another limb. This is my new personal best and the biggest i've heard of coming out of the farm pond. I'm Stoked!!! 4lbs - 9oz Jason Quote

ring fry Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 I lived in Nebraska City for four verrrry long years. The only good thing about it was that there are sooooo many great farm ponds in that area. Great fish! Quote
