Discovering more in more in my Dad's neighborhood pond

It was my dad's birthday last week. I dropped my son off at baseball practice which is not far from my mom and dad's neighborhood.  I hit up their pond in between his practice...Everytime I visit this pond, I learn something new. It wasn't until this year that I started to fish this pond. I have driven by this pond so many times, but never had a reason to stop and fish.

I had success catching some Bluegill and Bass on a Mepps spinner, and specifically at about ten feet out from the bank. I had a big bass gulp my Mepps spinner...I got it all the way to the bank and then it came off ☹️.

But always look at what you learned...I then put on a black trick worm in a Texas Rig scenario...I tried going slow and just dragging the bottom...no luck.

So then I started to throw my worm out and worked it back a bit faster...almost swimming the worm back to the bank. Bam!!! I caught two nice ones right in a row! 

What a great day. I think God gave me some fun on my Dad's birthday...he let me fight with two nice ones. I hope you are all doing great today. 👊🏽🤙🏽
