Whitman's Pond Fishing Report

After Work 1

Stopped behind That's Italian Too where the bridge crosses Whitman's Pond. I only intended to throw a few casts....until I saw a bass on her bed. Game on! I threw just about everything I had with no luck. Then I remembered I had plastic craw fish. Always a good choice on the beds. I rigged it up and dropped it in front of her face. Hit! Throw... Hit! Throw.... Wait, hit!!! ...throw. At this point I'm seriously doubting my hook. Since I'm going for a reaction bite I don't care too much about hiding the hook so I grabbed a Gamakatsu 1/0. Next hit didn't throw :) Oh, and did I mention this was on an ultra-light? Lots of fun bringing her in. Unfortunately my phone died, so no pics. But I would guess she was about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds. I love it when they're on their beds!!!!
