Fishing in August 2009
I’ve been doing a little fishing mostly during the middle of the day with a few evenings when possible. The results have been slow on the most part. I just can’t seem to find the larger bass. You’d think that in the last two hours before sundown that the bass would come out to feed but…
I have managed to catch a few small bass, 1 lb or less, with only one keeper. The bluegill have also been slow even on flies and I’ve had no bass at all on flies. The only lure that seems to get the fish interested is the Blue Fox in line spinner in a blue color and silver spinner. I have caught several channel cat on it and some small crappie (where have all the crappie gone)?
I’ll tell you; they’re scattered all over the pond. I tried to find the crappie in the evening as well, hoping that they would be schooling up near dark, but no luck so far.
I don’t like to fish after dark which is when the fish are apparently feeding. Shown is a sample of the fish that I have caught. The bass is a 1 1/2 lb and the cats are 2 1/2 to 3 lbs.
