At the pond, I started out with a Zoom super fluke in the white ice color, and promptly landed a small largemouth. After surveying the edges, I noticed that there were A LOT of bluegill up shallow as they prepare to spawn, and occasionally a bass would come ripping through the herd. I switched up to a bluegill flash Keitech swing impact. I immediately started getting hit, and landed a few more fish, but nothing big. I also caught 2 more bass on the drop shot.
But the most interesting thing that happened today was this. I cast out the swim bait, and notice a loop in the reel. As I'm stripping the line, I notice my line starting to swim away. As quick as I can, I reel up all the slack and set the hook. I dragged the small crappie across the top of the water and when I picked up the fish, I noticed that I never even hooked him! That's a first, and probably a last for me.
I wound up with 7 bass and 2 crappie here in about a half hour. Nothing big.
I guess he really wanted the Keitech!
I had a few more minutes so I stopped at another old spot and caught one dink largemouth and one okay fish on a jig.
