I went out to a small public pond today to try out senkos for the first time and caught this little guy on a wacky rig.

 

As I was walking the edge of the pond I saw these egg sacks. I tried to look them up but couldn't find anything that looked like them.  Anyone have any ideas?

 

 

Mermaid eggs.

Toads frogs or salamander hard for me to see

Welcome to the Senko + wacky world! Addicting...

 

And no idea as to the eggs. Very interesting, though.

Eggs: I'd guess yellow perch - one of the earliest spawning fishes.

I did some more research and you are right. I forgot the ponds got stocked with yellow perch. I just found it odd that there were no fish around the eggs.

Yellow perch aren't nest builders like bass; they are more similar to broadcast spawners. Lay the eggs up around any dead vegetation or woody material. The eggs are very sticky and adhere to the shallow cover. Perch will then move out and hang in the general area for a little while, but don't guard.
