Two weeks ago while visiting my son and his family in Delaware I visited with the golf pro at the adjacent golf course and got his permission to fish the ponds.

 

Yesterday, October 15, I reckoned the course and found two fantastic ponds. Really beautiful bodies of water. Lots of grass, a bulkhead, and you can easily access them from the bank.

 

So today while my son was getting the two kids ready for school I snuck out and went to the golf course and fished the large pond.  Caught 9, with the largest around 3 pounds; two around 2 pounds; and the four others were a pound or less all within an hour and a half.

 

I missed at least ten which I thought were the dinks until I landed one of the two pounders. Really surprised me until I realized that they were not hitting the Yum stick baits hard. In fact, I had to always watch my line to see it go to the left or right very slowly and then set the hook.

 

Rain is headed this way this afternoon and tomorrow may not be a good day to hit the ponds after the rain passes through but I think I will go back and try my luck at the second pond I found in the rear of the course.

 

All they wanted were Junebug and Green Pumpkin Yum sticks. No crankbaits and no spinnerbaits. All on the bottom, too. 

 

At least I got in one day of fun fishing in Delaware.

 

 

Good for you! The golf pro must also be a fisherman!
