Quick Photo Recap
It’s been too long since my last update and I’ve let too many fishin’ sessions come and go without a post… It’s seems like lately I’ve just been able to squeeze in an hour of fishing here or an hour and half there, but the fishing has been pretty good.
I think the carp in my “go-to” golf course pond (a frequent pit stop on the way home from work) are wising up to me. I’ve been seeing them in far smaller #’s and they’ve been extra spooky. I decided to make a point to chase after bass out there for a while to give the carp a break and loosen ‘em up a bit. I haven’t caught any bass out there worth bragging about since early spring, but I had an interesting one this week:
How does something like this even happen?
Really, how does this happen? Seems like an awefully strange way to foul hook a bass. I did a little surgery and pressed down the barb as best I could. Wonder what his chances are…
The wind has made a fly fisherman’s life difficult lately and the poor bass witht he hook through the belly was definitely the most noteable fish to come out of the golf course pond the past few days, but I thought this one was a cool shot. Reese has been having fun trying to figure out her new camera…
Nice shot, pretty fish
I met up with my old roommate to check out the new house he just bought on friday… after scoping the place out we decided to run out to Bridge Creek to check out a farm/neighborhood pond. Rumors of active 6lb+ bass were enough to convince us to take the drive.
No 6lber’s, but definitely some fun fishing and a great chance to catch up.
Josh bringing in the first fish of the day...
He was hooked up before I had even set the paddle down to make a cast, nice way to start things off for sure.
- Big sunfish are always a good time and even worth a hero shot or two…
Most of the bass we caught were ~12in, but I managed to drag in a nicer one and Josh picked up a few really cool shots.
Nice timing...
They were all extra dark, very pretty and healthy fish in this pond.
So dark...
Judging by my case of “bass thumb,” I’d definitely call it a good few days. Not sure what’s in store for me fishing-wise this week. Hopefully a trip or two to the OK river to bring my first gar to hand!
The measure of a good week....
