Pond Fishing 9/30/15

September 30, 2015 Fishing No comments

After some debating on whether or not to go fishing after work today, I gave in to the urge and braved the strong winds and went to a pond outside Marion. It turned out that I made a good choice as I caught 10 nice bluegill, all of them over 8+ inches long, and 9 large-mouth bass that was in the 2 lbs range.

I usually don’t keep bass but there’s a recipe that I have been wanting to make, so I opted to keep a few of the ones that I caught. Ran out of bait and daylight so I had to quit sooner than I would have liked.
