Super User .dsaavedra. Posted October 8, 2007 Super User Posted October 8, 2007 wow. what a day. this morning got up at 6 got to the farm pond around 7. i had on a BPS Nitro super shallow crankbait. i was casting around the dock hopin to get hit on my first cast. well didnt happen. probably on my 10th cast i got my first fish, and the biggest of the day! this one went 18.5" and 2.75lbs. another one from that pond i kept fishing that and caught a few more. then i switched over to a bandit foot loose (the BPS crank was going too deep) and caught a few more. all in all i caught 7 fish from that pond. my dad only managed 1 cuz he was bottom fishing with a 7" yum dinger. his fish was 15.5" then the fishing slowed so i walked over to the second pond across the yard, and the fishing was killer over there!!!! there was duckweed all over the surface, totaling about 3/4 of the pond, but it was blowing with the wind so it chaged all the time. well my dad got one on a torpedo next to the edge of the duckweed. then i casted a 4" yum dinger on the duckweed and as soon as it fell off the edge into open water it got slammed. but i was using an ultralite and couldnt get a hookset in. then i tried again and i hooked up and caught the bass. then i tried once more and caught another fish in the exact same spot! after those two i switched over to a 7" power worm (wanted a kicking tail) and continued to catch fish on that. i ended up with a total of 18 bass!!!!! here are a few more pics of the nicer ones that i caught: my dad ended up with a big bluegill on the torpedo. then he switched over to a worm like me and landed a 16" bass. so that was an extremely productive day for me!!! not so much for my dad, with only 4 fish, but at least all of his were nice sized!!! P.S. all of the fish that i caught at the second pond (with duckweed) i caught on an ultralight setup with 6lb line and a loose drag!!! those bass sure put up a good fight, and when they swim in the duckweed it makes it even more fun because thers more resistance!!!

Guest avid Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Totally cool young jedi. You look just like your father but I'm sure you've told that a million times already. I really love the look on your face in the photo's. It's got that Buddha like serenity. Sort of "ho hum, another bass" Yet I know your jumping out of your skin. Well done son, Quote
