Secret Pond RI
Love this place! In southern RI.
First off we woke up at 3:30am and got to the spot around 4:30am. Its a long drive from like the middle of RI to Southern RI (just before CT line). I was in zombie mode while I walked with Carl out into the woods like 1.5 miles with all our gear. I had a feeling it was going to be a good day of fishing for some reason. We finally get to the spot (middle of nowhere) and Carl grabs his first bass of 2011. Shortly after I get a bass and a decent perch that fought pretty good. After some more perch and couple 1lb bass from the both of us, I think I met up with an old friend. The first time I got him on a red/white spoon. This time I got him on a 1/4 ounce RAT L TRAP lure. It was in fact "Nick the Pick." He is a 5 to 6lb pickerel which fought insanely while ripping my drag out for a few minutes as Carl and I geeked out at the size of its head.
Carl got a few more bass then it became breakfast time. A hungry man breakfast followed. Good day of fishing and ended the day off with the "Anti-Social Network Comedy Tour" with Bill Burr, Dave Attell, Jim Breuer and Jim Norton...
Good day both of fishing and laughs. I needed that after the winter.
