Let me tell you something right now. This may be the most amazing fish you have ever seen. Go ahead and click that button at the bottom. Now, allow me to give you the rundown. It's a Friday evening, roughly 5:00 and we decide to go fishing. We go out to Connors house because he has a pond down about a quarter a mile away from his house. We get down to the pond and start to lock in on trying to catch some absolute slabs. We decided before we went out that we were going to try to use the new lures that we bought earlier this week. Therefore, we did not know how the outcome of this would be, lets just say GREAT. As we got down there Landon had already had his rod set up but Cameron and Connor had to fix theirs up so, that's what they were doing until they heard a loud scream... SECOND CAST... A MONSTER, Landon had a huge bass on the line and looked and felt as if he were reeling in a sailfish in the deep sea. This was the absolute definition of a SLAB. And the best part is He reeled it in all the way. Everything about this was perfect, the weather was good, I got a quick and easy catch and definitely a new record. We are hoping to have another good week next week.
This week was a very slow week. We were only able to go out and fish twice and caught nothing. We fished in Bermuda Run neighborhood. There are multiple ponds in this neighborhood and we are still trying to figure out where the best ponds are. This week we had to go out in the evening towards night time and the temperatures got COLD. We all went out fishing after we played some basketball so we all had on short sleeve shirts and shorts. Connor got a few bites after about 30 minutes and had one on the hook but never got the chance to reel it in. Landon got his line stuck on a log so he had to cut his line and rig up another line. On the good side, we were able to go out and get some new hooks and lures. We have been using fake "Bait" worms and they have not been working too well. Hopefully the plastic lures can catch more fish next week. The weather killed us this week but it is supposed to warm up next week, which is OUR WEEK.
And just like that, we have our first catch. Yesterday we went out and fished for about an hour and managed to catch 2 fish. I, Landon caught one and Cameron caught one too. It was a great experience and felt like an accomplishment. We fished at Connors house twice this week and only one day we actually caught something. The weather was pretty good, temperatures during the evening were warm with a slight breeze but as the day went on it got colder.
We tried getting videos of ourselves but it was difficult and we kind of forgot. We did manage to get some clips and photos, we will upload them to the Pics/Vids page. This was a very slow week. The weather was extremely harsh on us. We went down to a friend's pond for about an hour and a half. It was about 40 degrees outside with lots of wind. We did not come prepared, we all were wearing shorts and mother nature was making us pay for that. We all decided to use spinning rods this time, but I think we all like spin-cast rods the best. We like them better because it is way easier to control. All we have to do is press the button and throw our line out. Out of the hour and a half of fishing we only got bites. We were using rubber baits. I guess next time we need to switch the bait up. Next time we go out fishing we will probably get live worms.
