·Last night I went to a pond after work to see if I could coax a bass or two into biting. This pond I went to is right behind a Publix grocery store in a shopping strip area. When I got there a truck was being loaded at their dock and they where banging and such. I brought a bag of Wave Worms and 2 rods with me. One rod had my homemade Gold MUllet lure on and the other a 5/0 wide gap hook for the Wave Worm.
I tried the Mullet first with no takers. Then I started fishing the black and blue fleck Wave Worm and a friend calls me so I have my phone pinned against my left ear and shoulder while I am holding my rod. Suddenly my line tightens and I simply lean backwards real fast since I was out of position to set the hook. But it is enough and a very nice fat bass jumps and I tell my friend oh wow I got a nice one and I set the phone down and reel in a bass about 5lbs. This fish looked ripe for spawning and I quickly let her go so as not to make too much commotion what with the Publiz employees in the background and all. ;D Don't want to draw undo attention to new honey holes and all
It was fun catching that fish. No pictures as I didn't bring my camera. Shame on me haha. I will next time as I honestly did not know this pond had nice fish in it. I saw several bedshere and there as the parking lot is well lit up. I had a nice bass follow my mullet lure later on.
I left as it started getting cold and sprinkled rain a little. Cold for us Florida boys is 50 lol.
