Fishing
Mystery Pond - Multiple Species, Part 2
I went to a pond I hadn't fished since before I was a teenager. I didn't know what I would find, but expected panfish. I was right. Then things started getting crazy. I even ended up catching a species that I couldn't even identify. I had never caught one like it before. It was super aggressive and came out of nowhere. This was a fun trip overall. I hope you enjoy it.
The Same Pond but in the Evening, Part 2
I returned to the same pond in the evening to see if the fishing was better. The results speak for themselves. I can only imagine that stress from fishing, predators, and heat can affect fishing in the evening. While the evening is still better than midday, the morning still wins out in the end, at least in my opinion.
50 Trout in 2 Hours, Part 2
I had passed this pond a number of times while floating the river that runs along it. One time, we docked briefly, and I got out to examine the pond to see what looked like some small fish barely breaking the surface. However, I finally got to fish it, and I was not disappointed. It was a wild morning.
First Time at a New Pond was a Success, Part 2
A subscriber suggested visiting this pond in Nampa, and I was finally able to make it out. The wind was wild and made fishing a little interesting, but the day was a huge success. Got into a couple of species of various sizes and had a blast. I don't know how many fish I caught in total, but it was quite a few. Changing to the smaller Crappie Magnet Jig Head significantly improved my hookset probability.
A Multiple Species Kind of Day
I returned to Sawyers Pond in Emmett, Idaho, for this trip and didn't expect the results. Started off getting into some trout just beyond the weed line and very deep. The float was getting some interest, but I couldn't get the hookset, so I tested the bluegill I was seeing in front of me. Turned out there was a massive slab of a Crappie hanging out there. This one made my new PB. While I waited for more trout, I used the Tenkara to fish around the dock and catch several gorgeous bluegill.
