Pond X Fishing Report
The Fog Hog & Happy Anniversary!
So today is a special day for my wife and I as it marks one year since we've been married. It's been a great year and I look forward to many more. I was blessed to have the morning and early afternoon to be out on the water as Jen returned to work today and I needed to do "something" to fill the day, so why not fish!
I brought four rod's- 3/16 ounce bitsy bug jig with a 3 inch chigger craw trailer, a 4-6 ft running golden shiner colored crankbait, the frog and a 1/8 ounce weighted creature bait. All of them got pretty consistent action through out the day and early afternoon. I probably boated 50 fish, mainly largemouth with some crappie, perch and the occassional sun fish mixed in. All of the big fish in the photo's came on either the jig or the crankbait. I missed a monster on the frog as I couldn't handle it through the slop on one side of the pond but I made up for it with a crankbait stopping Fog Hog at around 9:00am before the showers came through. The bass smashed it after only a couple cranks and I laid into the thing. A nice battle persued before I was able to net the big girl- 5.3lbs......I'll take it! Most of the fish seemed to hit the lures as soon as they entered the water or about 10-15 feet from the boat from slowing down the jig or pausing the cranker. Best five were around 20 pounds and it was nice way to fill the day.
Now it's time for some champagne and lobster- not a bad way to spend the rest of the night!
