POND FISHING IN HOWARD COUNTY, MD
Jeb Burchick and Kyle Hartman take in a hour
of local pond fishing on a breezy, cool
Sunday afternoon.
I got this largemouth bass on a YUM,
green pumpkin colored lizard.
When the mother goose saw us she quietly
took her young to the edge of a corn field
along the woods and away from the pond.
Jeb and Kyle used Berkley Gulp
earthworms, mosquito hooks with bobbers,
and could have caught bluegill all day
long.
I'd recommend a long shank hook to make
it easier for removal.
Yellow iris at peak bloom along the
shoreline bank.
I saw a good few fresh crayfish
holes/mounds along the shore so I tried
a YUM gray/green with an orange
underside Craw Papi crayfish.
After 20 casts I switched to a 6-inch
worm and caught this aggressive hitting
bass.
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Cole, it's always a
pleasure to fish your pond.
