More Fishing in Subdivision Pond
April 18th, 2008 by JimI went out again yesterday and did fairly well: 21 crappie and 3 bass. Mostly all small. Started out at 2:30 P.M. but didn’t do well until around 4:00 P.M. That’s about the same thing that happened on my last entry. Just a very few bites until later in the day. Again I ended up in the same place I started to get the most bites where earlier I couldn’t buy a bite. I haven’t caught a single female fish that I could tell…none carying eggs. So, it must be the males settling out to find the best nesting areas. I have found three such places which should hold most of the nests when they do start to spawn. All of the bites were lip hooked except one and I don’t think I hurt that one either being careful not to damage the one I cahght in the gill area, no bleeding but the hook was wrapped around the gill. I don’t keep fish unless it will, without doubt, die. No one in my family likes to eat fish except me! We have our grand kis over today so it’s playtime and no fishing. See you next time.
