Fishing with the Old Man and the Dog! With pics and vids

[Simp]

Well I was so happy to get back to some good old pond fishing with my dad and my dog. I've had three club tourneys in the past month or so and I was sure glad to get back to some sit back and relax style fishing. We had to wait until March 15th for all our Wildlife Refuge ponds to open back up and so far they've produced well.

We've started learning a new small pond this spring (although I did visit it some late last fall before it closed). Mainly because they drained my honey hole of a pond at the end of last years season. So we are testing out some other ponds to see what we can find. This pond in the photos has HUGE beautiful colored bluegill that will make for some great fun with the little ones and some great eats!! The downside has been I've only caught small bass in it at around 13inch or smaller and it's had me worried about the state of the bass in the pond. That was until yesterday.

Here are some pics of my little dog out there enjoying every moment.

 

We caught some bluegill and I caught several small bass on a Red Eye Shad in a red and yellow pattern. I ended up going back the next day for a few hours braving a wind advisory. I caught several bass and finallly one that had some size that gives me hope that there might be at least some hawgs in it.

 

Oh and here is a couple panorama shots of the Pond I took.
