Exceptional fishing on the pond Brush overhang
I saw some water movement under this brush overhang indicating a feeding fish. And sure enough the nice 4 lb channel cat was just waiting for my Baby Craw to dine on. I’m using a 6 1/2 ft Rapala spinning rod and my Abu Garcia 304 spinning reel with 8 lb test line to skip the Yum under the overhang just one foot from the shore under the brush and…bang! I had to haul him away from the roots under the brush and get him away from shore to ensure that the fish didn’t break off, which is often the case. Skipping onto the target with a lure is difficult, but with practice, anyone can do it. It pays off after you’ve mastered it but, you will often get snagged until you have. Don’t be discouraged, keep trying. I was tossing the lure weightless as the water there is only about two feet deep.
