Today was very interesting.................As I was reeling in about an 8 inch bass MOMMA CASS hit it like a MAKO hitting a striper. Needless to say my line snapped and i tried to reach the float but I fell in the pond. When I finally got hold of the float there was no line attatched. I usually catch 3-4 pounders in this pond. This fish is at least 9-10 pounds. My question is how do I land this fish ???? He/she will be set free..........I just want a snapshot. He was right on shore near a large rock when he hit the small bass. I usually see him swimm by at least once a fishing session (2HOURS)..........I'm pretty much a rookie to the sport.......... THANKS.............COACHJSIMM

Thanks guys for the advice on the craws. Pouring here in Ct. No action on the craws this a.m................I just have to get used to using them. Pickeral were hitting the Yamo's as usual but no bass. This pond has only small mouths. I haven't seen any large yet....maybe I'm wrong. Again thanks for the advice ........I'll try rigging them differnet. Coachjsimm

THANKS ALOT GUYS !!!!! No luck this a.m............................pouring here in Ct. Four pickeral in the Yamo's................No bass. Only small mouths in this pond. Didn't touch the craws............I just have to get used to using them. Again thanks for your replies................Coachjsimm

I just started fishing a small pond in Connecticut. Nearby is a brook with several crawfish. I set a trap last night and got about 20. I've never used them in this pond. Will they catch small mouths and pickeral??? Should they be hooked through the tail...with hook coming up through ??? This am caught 5 on YAMO'S.....................Also best time to use crawfish !! Thanks COACH...........
