Daytime Fishing
Decided to go out during the day today. I didn't have high expectations. A cold front had just moved through, it was sunny, breezy, and warm, and the water level was way down. Not ideal conditions. I launched around 0930 and for the 1st hour and a half it was dead. I made my way around to the northwest side of the pond and got out of the wind. I cast near some cover and caught a small largemouth. Felt a little better now I wasn't skunked. Next cast, another largemouth. Bigger then the 1st one but still under a pound. Then I see a splash about 15 feet from shore near a rocky ledge. I know its a smallmouth. I cast a senko over near it. A few quick twitches and fish on! I land a 2lb smallmouth. Next cast a little further up shore and boom. Another 2lb smallmouth. I finished the day with a 24" pickerel. Not bad for the conditions.
