This is this closest fishing to my home there is, and Tues was my second visit. Go figure.

I wasn't getting any love with my 4" craw colored senkos. Got a few small ones with a JSR5, and then snagged up on some line that ended with a 5-6" green senko. Looked like it could have been lost that day. So I tied it on and worked the nooks and crannies in less than 2' of water. Picked up 3 in the one foot range and one at 17"+ out of some muck in a corner.

Nice bass the other Ben. :smt003 What a change of paste from sitting still for
hours not catching anything to a nonstop bass action huh? I will be at it with
this sturgeon fishing until I catch one.

I love that pond, I was there a lot in my high school days. Good pond for throwing topwater frogs and spinnerbaits in the summer. Ive seen some hogs swimming around in there. Especially the ones Ive seen be carried away  :smt010
