Two hours of good fishing on the pond
I went out again today but only for about two hours on the pond. The temperature was 60 degrees and the wind was gusting to about 15 mph. I followed the shoreline, again using my trusty Blue Fox spinner. Boat control was difficult with the wind trying to blow the boat into shore. This made paralleling the shoreline very difficult. To counter this I moved out from shore, stopped my electric motor and drifted toward shore while casting to the shoreline. I was using a faster retrieve to get rid of the bow in the line caused by the wind.
This method was the key. I caught six bass from one to three lbs , six small crappie (hand size) and one bluegill all on the Blue Fox spinner. I did try my craw and my jig and minnow (Mr Twister) without success.
I was happy. Got home for dinner just in time(as usual) and just had a good day.
