Two Stop Trip
With the dreaded no sales tax weekend on the horizon for me I was able to get in a full day of fishing with the Mrs taking the crew to the beach.
I was up out and on the water to a SS no motor mud hole before 8am. Though it was going to be a top water through the slop day as the water was super low. Tried frogs in a couple of colors and the buzzbait no love got to back of pond and it was a punchers haven,not my fav way to fish, but I gave it a go for 45 min and nada. Wind picked up so I headed into it to use it as a drift. Found some open water and fished the defined edges with soft plastics topwaters and a spinnerbait. No luck hit the rock island on a second drift with a slight miss on the buzz. Just paddled in towards the pull out spot and worked the spillway with a soft plastic and finally had a real hit stuck it and thought for slight second I had a slob but alas it was just a chunky 3.7 with a ton of grass in his face.
Pulled out and headed to my good old SS spot Whitmans Pond. Was on the water by noonish. Made straight shot out to offshore hump worked top to bottom though I marked fish got no love. Ground and pound with nothing. Ate lunch on the island then hit the good old bridge missed a hit on soft plastic under bridge. Chunked and wined my way towards back of pond saw a huge carp. Work a usual good Summer cove no love missed a hit near small island. Said screw it spinnerbait or bust and manged 3 bass in 30 min biggest a chunky 2 hit the boat ramp cove for 45 min with nothing so headed home.
Been a tough Summer so far at least for me have not been out much but man the bite has been spotty. Maybe nxt trip will be a on the water before sunrise type one to change it up.
