Pond Chickens and Puddle Shad Spawn (4/13)

[Latimeria]

Just a Place Holder until later....

Not much, but went down to the puddles on Saturday morning.  Lots of bass guys, but I just set out a few trout/cat rods.  Got another pond chicken.



Bass were busting up all over the place on little micro bait.  Looked like a shad spawn just happened.  I tied on a tiny swimbait...



...and on my second cast, scored! Absolutely gorgeous markings on it!



Then I was covered with bass guys.  I saw a 5# and a few 2.5# fish caught before I decided to leave the crowds.

I went to my tree spot and got another bass, albeit a smaller model.  Me trying to get some actions shots proved fruitless as he jumped, splashed me with nasty water and swam away.



This crayfish he spit up literally smelled like a turd!




I ran home for lunch and came back at the end of the day to totally different conditions.  Windy... Choppy Ponds... Tons of people.... and tons of fishermen...  I found an open spot and just cast and soaked for a bit.  I had two good bites, but neither stuck so I got the afternoon goose egg.  Still, I cant beat the proximity to the house.  lol

Oh, but the pm session wasn't a bust.  I did a quick little rock painting.  I actually did 2, but left the rough one at the lake for someone to find.



Thanks for reading!

Nice bass, the proximity to the house is killing me.  Digging the painted rock

There we go. That is a really pretty green bass. I also really like the rock painting. Time well spent.

Bass are on the chew in Temecula and Santee, you are lucky Max and Myles don't have their Driver's License yet !!  Ha Ha  You sure are dialed in on that place, very cool !

BTW, what's with the emojis on here lately, they don't work ?

My web guy is really dropping the ball.  I'll shoot him another call and text, but he hasn't responded to me in at least 6 months. I need to do something soon.
