Pond fishing w/pics

[5th Tuition]

After being on the "Shore" yesterday, I was itching to get back with a rod I found two willing partners (Mike-Garlien; and Jeff-Chessie27). It was a last minute decision, so we got a late start. I met Mike at noon, and we hooked up with Jeff in Denton.

I have a couple places to fish, but I decided on on of my favorite places that has several big ponds to chose from Now you do have to walk a little bit:roll eyes:to get to the best ponds. If you carry three rods, bait bucket, collapsible chairs, tackle boxes, and beer; it's a hike.

We didn't have a great day, but we did find largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and crappie. Both lures (mepps spinners) and live bait (shiners) produced fish. It was frustrating to see swirls and fish breaking farther out in the pond, but beyond casting range. If you could get a kayak back there, it would be awesome

It was a blast fishing with Mike and Jeff. They supplied the beer and I supplied the bait. It was too nice of a day to be indoors. Beside, I needed my exercise today (right Jeff). Thanks for tagging along; good times with good people.

Jeff; did you ever walk a pier that long to fish

At least you got out of the house. I played 18 holes with my son today and most of the time we were in long sleeve tee-shirts. I won't get into the final score, but , we both had a good time and it definitely makes the winter a little shorter. No fish for dinner but fun time

My ribs are really bruised this morning, I may have to press charges!

There isn't enough lumber in the world to even build a dock that long. And if there was, I'm thinking it would need a drawbridge in the middle as it would run all the way across the Bay!

Sorry, did I say 18 holes? I meant 18 inches, yea that's it, we played around with 18 inchers all day and we caught so many I couldn't keep score
That's my story and I'm stickin with it.
