About 5-6 years ago I used to take my son to this pond which is not far from our home. He actually caught his first fish at this pond when he was still attending daycare. Fast forward to this morning, and he his 11 years old now.
About 5-6 years ago, we rolled up on the pond and all the fish were floating at the top near the banks. Definitely the pond had experienced a fish kill. I am not sure if it was on purpose or if something happened natually. It was a sad day and my son who was very little at the time, was just as sad as I was. It was kind of traumatic for a little one.
I always wondered if the fish would come back...Well, 5-6 years later I can tell you son and I had a blast because the fish were absolutely back in that pond, and they were hungry! They hit almost everything we through at them. Crawdad crankbaits, Roadrunners, and even 10 inch plastic worms were working on these Bluegill and Sunfish.
This place is pretty close to our home so we just took our bikes and put a tacklebox in a backpack. Getting to wake up and do this with my son is the most special thing for me.
I have been fishing a lot over the last month or two with my son, and we are having a lot of fun. I am even researching a 2 seater fishing kayak for us. More to come as I will be posting more about our fishing adventures.
