Fishing
Frigid Sunrise Fishing
Fishing the stocked pond as the sun rises. Will it pay off better than in the evening? Honeyworms dominated, but as the sun rises higher, the baits start changing in hopes of keeping the fish biting.
Fishing After the Pond is Stocked, Part 2
Back at the neighborhood stocked pond. The pond was supposed to have been stocked the previous day. There have been disruptions to the schedule this fall, and so I wasn't sure what I would find. When I approached the pond, I didn't see any surfacing and was concerned it hadn't been stocked as scheduled. I was wrong. What a day it turned into.
Settling for Pumpkinseeds, Part 2
Kleiner Pond was supposed to be stocked with trout, but that didn't happen, so I tried for a few panfish and ended up finding a big school of small pumpkinseeds. I also find a bluegill or two and even a baby bass.
Finding Some Better Bluegills, Part 2
I was trying a different pond that sometimes has stocked trout, but I knew that was unlikely. However, I was pretty confident that there would be a few good-sized bluegill, if nothing else was biting. While there were mostly 4-inchers, I did manage to catch a few larger gills, and the trip was an overall success.
Micro Fishing (Last Resort of Late Summer), Part 2
It's late summer, the heat is high, and the ponds haven't been stocked in over two months. Fall stocking is right around the corner, but what does a fisherman do until then? Micro Fishing! I head to a local pond full of bluegills, baby bluegills. While it doesn't compare to catching big fish, micro fishing can be fun. How small can they get and still take the hook? Watch to find out.
