Beginning of June 2023 fishing, Two Poles Two Baits, Big Results

 

The neighborhood pond is fire right now.  It is that time of year when some of the fish are still on beds but most are already in post-spawn. I am catching them deep and also on the banks of this specific pond.  I had two rods with me and only two baits...Zoom Flukes and Zoom Trick Worms. 

Definitely a ton of fun and the weather was nicer than the day before. The day before we hit 95 degrees so it was surely hot and sunny.  Today, it was mostly overcast with the highs in the upper 80s. Some of my additional thoughts on this day:

-I played around with several retrieves...I did catch some nice bass that were deep specifically dragging a trick worm on the bottom.  Had a few takers on that.  I also moved my worm a bit faster when closer to the banks. The idea was to disrupt any fish on beds, and it worked!  I did catch some bass on the banks using this method.

-I don't think the pond was treated this year (yet).  The algae blooms are happening, and there is definitely more vegetation near the banks on this pond this year.

-Zoom Flukes are still working in the pond.  There is a specific color the bass are looking for right now. I have a couple different kinds and it was the Arkansas shiner that was getting it done.

Hope you all are having a great summer.  Tight Lines to You!
