Goal 1: Catch a fish in a rainy overcast day.
Lil' Shaka was able to achieve goal 1 fairly quickly. I think on his second cast he had a bass come up and chomp on his Yum Dinger. We were specifically using a green pumpkin and white belly pattern. I think the bass can really see this pattern in an overcast day. Even though a cold front moved in, we both noticed the fish and the water was still warm. So the bite seemed to continue to be on!
Sure enough, we both continued to catch bass on our Yum Dingers with wacky rigs. I actually wasn't using a Yum Dinger. I still had an orange crawfish color "Bama Craw" stick bait from the company Creme. I picked these up from Walmart a while back, and I have caught some big bass with them!
Goal 2: Catch a Fish in a Specific Pond using Wacky Rig.
The Lil' Shaka caught this 2lbs bass yesterday at one of the ponds that is in the regular rotation. He caught this one on a Yum Dinger in a Wacky Rig configuration. He was casting into an area where there are some good size logs. He was rewarded with the fish from the pic you see above!
The Goal: Catch Fish at a Finicky Pond
We have a pond not far from where we live that has been elusive to my son and I in terms of catching fish. We usually take our bikes out there with some fishing poles and try like hell to catch fish. Goal completed!The last couple of times we fished there we were successful with our wacky rigs. I think this pond gets fished quite a bit, and I am guessing this is not a lure that the fish see that much.
I also notice that the bass we catch there are all fairly good size. All of them have been about 1.5lbs to 2lbs. It seems like there are less bass in this pond, but they are definitely there.
We caught 4 bass on this day and we walked all the way around the pond. On this day, son was using a Yum Dinger in a black with red and gold flake pattern that was working really well. I continued to use my Creme Bama Craw stick bait.
I hope you are all having a great weekend. Stay Committed, Stay Driven...
