BilletHead Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 After the bad lousy weather the last few days we needed a pond fix. Windy, windy unstable weather. I had watched this stuff for the last two days. News coverage was unreal. Knowing we here were in the middle of the bad stuff for two days. Watched the coverage about Moore on the TV as I had the computer on tracking the storms as they headed this way. As it got closer I covered the garden plants with buckets and everything else I could. Soon the Mrs. got home from work, then we got the tornado warning. Birdwatcher gave me a text to head for cover just as we hit the shelter. First time we had to get in the thing and a sigh of relief when I shut the door. We could hear the wind and hail hit the door. Soon it was over and out we came to just some branches and green leaves all over the yard. Back into the house to the TV and storm coverage. May the good lord bless the storm victims we thought. After a restless night we awoke to an overcast day with no wind, still as it could be and the Mrs. says lets grab the rods and hit a pond. No argument here and we did. I started with a stealth bomber in black while Pat tied on a little dinny accardo popper. She went down one side of the pond and I the other. Literally every cast a hit. She was catching bass and green sunfish and bluegill. Me just bass then a bass took my bomber, I tied on a green one the same size. The bombers I threw measured 3.5 inches long. I knew it was too much for the gills and missed bites. Some of the bass and most of them were the same size. This pond needs some kept out both bass and gills to get room for growth potential. One of the bluegill who bit off more than he could chew. Mrs. BilletHead in action. She was having so much fun I changed to a smaller fly and the bluegill fest really took off. We doubled up several times. Fished for three hours with nonstop action. What a hoot!

Daryk Campbell Sr Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Good stuff. Looking to get an hour or so this weekend on a buddy's pond. Will post results.

mic Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Sweetness. I've caught a couple on top, but I'm still waiting for a good solid effort.
ollie Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Looks like a fun day! When you get into a mess of gills on a pond that is fun. "you can always beat the keeper, but you can never beat the post" There are only three things in life that are certain : death, taxes, and the wind blowing at Capps Creek!
