Ed, have you fished the ponds lately? I fished them after work today for nada, until "the last cast". Tossed a Texas rigged worm right next to the rock by the tulies, from the street- I had just scoped the rock from the opposite shore, there was a 6" grom sitting there. Got picked up, thought it was the little bugger- set the hook on a nice 3 pounder, jet black, cool looking fish. Well, gotta make one more cast- fish grabs the 5" robo and starts jamming towards the middle of the lake, this must be the little guy. Set the hook, fish actually pulls some drag as it bolts toward deeper water, jumps, nice 4+ with a big fat gut. She turns around and jams straight into the tulies, knew where she was going, and busts me off! Oh well, I was fishing 6 lb., but that little flurry was worth it. It was dead till right before dark. I think those fish moved out of the tulies to grub. Another fish started chasing some fry around and boiling towards the dock on the other side, my friend tosses a weightless Robo and gets nailed, but missed it. Fun for a pit stop on the way home from work!
