JestersHK Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 Had a light morning at work so I decided to fish the front coming in at my local ponds. Got my girls all off to school, let my lovely bride sleep in and took off after the bus had left. I fished my usual spot but ran into some wicked wind. I was fishing a small ned on my spinning rod but missed 2 bites due to the bow in my line. I finally connected on a hard bite and landed first bass of the morning. After that it was all fly rod for me. I popped 3 more bass on a grey and white clouser that some stranger had dropped off in my mail box. I tell you what it was the magic ticket on a fast strip. The wind pushed me up to a different pond with a bit more of a break. Then fishing really got fun. First was a bass, then a Gill, then I started in on the crappie. Never switched flies and the clouser just whacked them on just about every 2 or 3 casts. Truly grateful for them showing up in the mail yesterday!

Johnsfolly Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 @JestersHK congrats buddy! I hope to have a similar success after a similar package shows up in the mail today ! Hoping for more temperate bass action than those pond sunfish. But am happy catching anything willing to tug on my lines. JestersHK and Daryk Campbell Sr 2
