BilletHead Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Hit the same pond Mrs. BilletHead and I fished last Saturday afternoon. Boy was it windy trying to throw with the fly rod. 23 bass came to hand and I stood in one section of pond bank that was ten foot long. Got one nice one. 19.5 inches long. All fish came off of the articulated worm. used the purple one with a black head until my bad knot came undone on a fish then changed to a straight purple one. So yes I have been counting fish this season. Why you ask? Well some count to see how many and what species they catch. So I thought I would start counting just to see how many I catch in a year. IF I REMEMBER I am kind of forgetful. Another fishing buddy told me pond fish don't count. HA I am going to tell him tomorrow only fly rod fish count . He gifted me a clicker last year. Here is to hoping I out click him!

Ham Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Careful. People will start questioning your motives and jump to all sorts on unseemly conclusions. you da man Marty. tho1mas and BilletHead 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
BilletHead Posted February 17, 2017 Author Posted February 17, 2017 I am sure You know Ham our motives are clearly our own. Now if I remember to click the clicker every time. That will be the challenge. Pat has her own clicker. I think she thinks I am crazy. This year we are working on forty years, she knows I am kind of touched .

JestersHK Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Nice job BH. I'm on my 3rd year with my clicker. I still forget to click sometimes too... We only count trout, and it's always just for fun, but it is exciting keeping a record of all your catches. Not sure where all the hate for that comes from...

The hate comes from me - HAHA just kidding. I count them too (bass) and keep records. It helps me remember stuff like what they were biting on last April, because otherwise I would not remember.

Flysmallie Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Better watch out. That one bass is sucking on your reel. BilletHead 1

BilletHead I can almost guarantee you that you will not remember EVERY time. I frequently say I remembered to click 37. I'm pretty comfortable saying I did not double click any. When I'm in doubt, it don't count. BilletHead 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
XP 590 Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Can you share something about that articulated worm? I just started fly fishing for bass and am loving it. I googled it and am finding things like that Senko worm, is that it? If you feel like sharing, I'd be grateful. BilletHead 1
BilletHead Posted February 20, 2017 Author Posted February 20, 2017 I sure will XP 590. We hit the little pond yesterday for a spell and did good again. Give me a little time and I will take some pictures.
