FH07,


Although I am skeptical of stories like this, I wouldn't be a fisherman if I didn't hope that at least a few of them were true. I want to believe yours is as true as any.

Now some advice for when your pond colors up again. Most of my experience comes from Lake Perris in Riverside Co, Calif. It had great vis most of the year, but occasionally after post spawn, the lake would get an algae bloom that turned the vis to about an inch. We fished small spinnerbaits very early or very late, added a glass or plastic bead between the bullet weight and our plastic worms, and we added scent to everything. You need to fish your worms very slowly. So slow that people think your plunking. When you finally move your worm do give it a sharp snap up with the rod tip 3-4 inches. Count to 20 and do it again.


1-3 pound fish were common. 5 pounders were frequently seen, if only rarely caught, and the largest we saw was an 11 pounder taken during an algae bloom on a black grub. So if you experiment i'm sure you could do well the rest of the year.

Eagerly waiting for a pic or two in my email.
