Pond
Fishing at Sunset 5/9/07 Mark Burchick
Bass were on
beds in the
shallows,
with
bluegill on
the
outskirts
looking for
a quick
meal.
The male and
female bass
had to be
diligent in
protecting
eggs from
the
opportunistic
bluegill.
They were
more
interested
in pushing
our lures
away rather
than
feeding.
Mark
caught a
male and
then a
female
from a
bed.
The
bluegill
rushed
in until
the bass
shook
off the
out-of-pond
experience
of being
caught.
Hey
bluegills,
paybacks
are hell
in a few
weeks
from
now,
when its
your
turn!
The lure
of the
day was
the
Yamamoto
Kreature.
For what
ever
reason,
this
bait
looks
like a
bed-stealing
predator,
and
brought
in
several
fish for
Mark.
I used a
YUM
Zellmander,
Yamamoto
Senko
worm and
YUM
Buzzfrog,
which
all
caught
fish.
The
black &
blue
laminate
Senko
did the
best
however,
along
with a
touch of
Mega-Strike
rub-on
lure
attractant.
At dusk
Mark and
I landed
a
doubler
that
finished
up our
evening
of
fishing.
I think
I know
where a
red-tail
hawk is
nesting
near
this
site,
and I'll
look for
the nest
next
time we
have
more
light.
This
red-tail
hissed
at us
relentlessly
while we
were on
the back
side of
the
pond.
Too
close to
the
nest, a
fledgling
on the
ground?
