7/25/12 Ponki
RegularRoy and I met up at Ponki for an after-work fish fest. We made our way out to a favorite spot along the southwest shore. I hit an 18.5" pick in the first few minutes, Roy boated a small bass, then the bite died for a couple of hours. Nothing we tried was working and we tried everything. Stymied, we decided to try the east end of the pond. While trolling a chartreuse/orange spinner bait I hooked a couple more pickerel including another 18 incher and a couple slime darts. Over by the island I was able to nail a bass on the same spinner bait. I then nailed a decent 2lb+ on a BPS pumpkin senko lookalike in the lillys. Final bass was caught on my tried and true white spinner bait as light was fading. Not a super productive day but persistence eventually paid off and the pond was a shimmering sheet of glass. A great night to be on the water :)
