Sunday Pond Fishing

I took a minimalist approach this afternoon,
taking one pack of Yamamoto Senko black & blue
worms and one pack of Owner, cutting point, 2/0
ot, longneck hooks with bait stopper. |
 |
Rebel assumes the routine, short forays into
the woods, and watching over me from high
ground. |
 |
I caught six largemouth bass, all over
2-pounds each. |
 |
I purchased a new spinning reel, called the
Shimano Saros. It's the 5th Shimano
I've ever purchased, and it's the BEST I've
ever had to date. Incredibly sensitive
and smooth. I own one Abu Garcia
(good) and a recent addition called the Doug
Hannon Wave Runner (weak). You can't
beat a Shimano bait or spin caster. |
 |
My favorite rod is my 6-foot, 6-inch,
medium-heavy St. Croix. Today I was
using Berkley Trilene XL, 12-pound
fluorescent blue, monofilament line. |
 |
All the strikes were hard and fast, I guess
they were hungry! |
 |
The royal fern (Osmunda regalis,
OBL) was beautiful today, as it is changing
color. This fern is native and occurs
in saturated areas along streams, seeps,
shoreline and wet meadows. In both
Florida and New York the fern is considered
rare (vulnerable) due to exploitation
(digging it up from the wild and planting it
in water gardens). |
 |
The forest surrounding the pond is mature
chestnut, black and white oak. The
understory is filled with American chestnut
(Castanea dentata) saplings. |
