Sunday I started off at the small pond at the funeral home around 2:15pm. First lure was a helsinki shad Husky Jerk HJ-6 and stuck with the single jerk 5 second pause retrieve. Never had any hits or followers.
Switched over to a hot mustard muddler X-Rap XR-4 to do some of that cleaning. Had 2 followers and lost a tiny bluegill.
Decided to head up to the ice out pond from there around 2:45pm.
Stuck with a Texas rigged 4" pumpkinseed Berkley Power worm and worked the 2 coves. Lost a largemouth on 1 cast and had 2 other hits.
After hardly any action at the ice out pond, I went to the private lake just before 5pm.
Hit the 2 areas I've been fishing recently. Didn't catch anything while throwing a few different colors of the X-Rap Shad Shallow XRSH-6 at one spot. Caught 2 yellows which were both keepers at the other spot. 1 came on a silver shad Jointed Shad Rap JSR-4 while doing a very slow retrieve and the other came on the custom painted purple nurple XRSH-6 while doing the single jerk 5 second pause retrieve.
Hit the road at 6:10pm. |

I'm glad you're already catching so many fish. I've been to 3 places so far and lost 2 brand new lures and haven't had a single hit lol. Not starting out well for me.

I feel the same way. My first cast in my kayak on my friends pond sent my rooster tail into a bunch on tall bushes and lost it! It felt like i had forgot how to cast! |

I'm hoping for a number of days in the 50s with plenty of sun so things can start getting more active.
Most of the time I'd already be having better days at the ice out pond but the temps and sun haven't been cooperating. |

Haha yup, three casts into my season I tossed a brand new jig into some thick reeds and as I yanked it out the jig flopped into the water broken off. Then got a Spinner Bait caught on an underwater rock or piece of metal. Wonderful start.
And Michael, you're catching more fish than anyone right now (at least that's posting) you don't have much to be complaining about right now!

True, even though I'm a spoiled fisherman from having so many productive days at many small ponds |
