Went to a new-to-me pond yesterday and caught three, the biggest a 2lb, 5 ouncer. Very frustrating?
Today though was a Hot time, both weather-wise with a high temp of 100 degrees F and Bassin'-wise as they were hitting left and right for the first hour or so. Got to the swamp pond at 10 AM and left at 1 PM, all wrung out.
Started catchin' several on a T-rigged ZOOM Speed Worm. Didn't take any pics of those under 2 lbs and there were quite a few of those too.
Started throwing a shallow runnin', chartruse cr/bait and caught several with it. Two hit it as it landed before I moved it.
I threw a frog on the pads and had 3 blow-ups but no fish on. The pads were folded over and laying on top of each other as the water had dropped to its lowest point I've ever seen here. Three or four months without any rain will do that to this pond.
