Fishing Sub Div pond 8-9-08
A beautiful day in the lower 80’s so , I went fishing in the pond. I tried all my regular baits, Yum Craw, etc., but came up with nothing for the first 1 1/2 hours. Switched to an inline spinner, a mepps, gold with a feathered tail in yellow, red and green. That got me two crappie. Switched to a Beetle-spin spinner except with the "Swimmin Minnow" instead of the beetle. That got two bass 1 to 1/12 lbs, three bluegill (nice 9"), and two more crappie. By then it was getting late so I headed in to try for a catfish in the last 1/2 hour. Caught a nice 4 pounder on a nightcrawler. I had to cut the leader because the fish swallowed it before I let it go. According to all the experts the fish will probably be O.K. because the fishes stomach acids will dissolve the hook. Fish are apparently stronger inside than we are, I hope anyway. I always release my fish and hope what the experts say is true. That’s it for now.
