Hello my Ohana. I went fishing yesterday morning before the sun came up. This is the same pond I've gone to in the past which produced some wonderful poison ivy on my legs at least two times. LoL. I've been scolded over and over again by several members of my family about taking percautions against poison ivy. If it were up to me I would go fishing in shorts and sandals all the time, but after this last time of getting poison ivy I decided I am better off with long pants and long sleeve shirts when I go to this specific pond.
The main issue around this pond is that the park maintenance folks do not cut the grass right up to the edge of the pond every time. They let the plants and grass grow near the edge or bank of the pond for awhile before they cut it all down. This is where the poison ivy lurks.
The Cold Front
What was interesting around this fishing adventure was that it has been so hot out over the last couple of weeks (literally 110 heat index most days) that the water was still very warm compared to the outside temperature which had dropped significantly. When I caught some of the bass, they were actually very warm to the touch. They were probably wanting me to put them back in right away! LoL.
What was I using this day?
The last time I fished the pond about a week before this session, I was having a ton of success with the Zoom Magnum Ol Monster worms in the red shad color. I had these Texas Rigged. This time around, I was using some stick baits by Yum Dinger that put me on fish almost right away. I had these Wacky Rigged. The only other bait I used in this morning session was the trusty Zoom 5 inch Super Flukes in the baby bass color.
I hope you are all staying committed and driven today! Have a great Labor Day weekend!
