Pond hopping with Curtisce

[BilletHead]

          The BilletHead and forum member Curtisce made a plan to hit a pond or two.  We started out at a lake/big pond that the duck club Curt belongs to leases. I brought up the BilletHead's kayaks for us to use. Curt gained permission to use Pat's with the pretty flower sticker on it . Got launched there and it was early enough we thought for a top water bite. We both tied on a BilletHead fry and went to work. Nadda, nothing, zilch and I mean nothing. Funny thing was we did not even see any fish even dimpling the surface? Strange as Curt said some of the guys have caught fish there in the past. So it was a drive to the BilletHeadville area for pond number two try.  We ended up at our favorite spot of course. We both started again with the fry but by then the sun was way up and bright. Curt had one boil in the shade of the flooded shelter on the fry but no hook up. I finally paddled over to one spot and tied on an articulated worm and it was game on for me. Four fish in four casts. We than began to work the fish over on the worm and purple bouface. I even used a baitfish pattern and caught a couple too. Best spots were along the pond dam where the wind was stirring up the water. Fish were from a foot deep to six or more feet deep. All of my fish came on the fly rod but someone took out his bait caster and caught some of his fish on it. There was one section of the dam where we caught twenty between us in a fifteen yard stretch of bank. We caught fish that were close to four pounds and out average was two and a half to three pounds. I got pretty warm and toasty eared and paddled back to the truck after I clicked my twenty-second fish. Told Curt to keep fishing for awhile while I loaded my stuff and drank some power aide and not hurry back. As I was doing this he was still pulling fish in. Curt padded over and we loaded up. He asked how many I had clicked. I said 22 and he responded that I had caught more than that and had been forgetting to click. He said he had 23 on his counter. It was after one and we were getting hungry. Went to town and hit burger king where Curt picked up the tab. Good times with a good friend. Yep another friend met here on OAF . Some photos to share with you guys and gals,

Nice report BH! Some nice fat bass. Gotta love a hefty tug on the line or 22 of them☺.

Great pics. I joked with  him that he was just waiting for me to fall in. I beat him on the officail clicker count but I think he missed a few. I used the cheater stick, baitcaster with a jig, part of the time

Nice job guys!  That Pond seems to be a gem BH if thats the same one you and the Mrs. was fishing.  My Fries are ready and waiting... Trying to find a morning here in crazy town to get out and whack that smallie in his hidey hole.
