A Fellow Fisherman

Featured Replies

While I was fishing about a week ago, I struck up a conversation with another person fishing and he starting telling me about a stop that he found out from one of his buddies, he said it was a small pond, hidden from view from the busy street. It was about a half hour from where I live, so I looked it up on google earth to make sure it was really there. I came across 3 ponds within a 3 minute drive. I tried the pond that i believe he was talking about and didnt get a nibble (although I did see some blue gill). The next pond we tried was on private property so we got in the car and tried the last pond I seen on google earth. This pond was behind a grocery store, over a giant hill. I dont believe this was the pond the guy was talking about but I took a look around and decide just to throw a line in quick to see it anything was interested. I used a Berkley kicker frog because it was fairly heavy cover and as soon as that frog hit the water, a fish was on, literally a second. I was suprised and brought him in. tried again and bam! Another in 30 seconds. After 2 quick decent bass, I keep getting nibbles and started to realize that the fish were biting the legs off my frogs! I must have gotten over 50 nibbles and all three frogs ended up with no legs? Even took the end of a ribbon tail worm off. I got some big hits but couldnt get any more, although just before leaving, I caught a blue gill on what was left of my frog. Do sunfish bite off plastics a lot? this is the first time Ive had this happen, unless it was the bass biting them off? What ever it was, I wasnt expecting to catch anything because of this heat, especially in a pond. Just a fun story I thought I would share and get some info on my frog killer.

probably bluegill. theyre notorious for biting the ends of plastics off...
