Tried a few ponds a little ways from the house today since my local trip yesterday didn't go well. First spot was much weedier than I thought..did manage 1 decent one on a jerk bait. Ran up the road twenty minutes to another county pond...this one was much cleaner and easier to fish. I got 3 more on the jerk bait and 1 on the Ned. My buddy caught 1 on a flicker shad.

6 total in a few hours may not be on fire but ill take it.

Sounds like a fun day..

It was a good time. Also considering the cold water temps and the fact that I'm shore bound I'd say it was a surprising success.

I had similar luck on my trip on Saturday. Went out for about three hours and didn't have a bite on a jerkbait, lipless, or Ned rig for about two hours. Moved to a shady, wind-blown bank and tossed my confidence bait - the T-rig - and was able to pull out half a dozen in the next 30-45 minutes. I did not expect them to be in the shade and the ones I caught were VERY cold, but I guess the high wind we had was blowing a lot of food to that bank.

Sweet.  Just had the boat winterized and then we get a week of 70 degree weather.  The first snow put me into winter mode.

Get your sunscreen and flip flops out of storage and it will snow again! 

@TnRiver46 You are probably right.  At least it will give me time to get my son out for a little trout/panfish.

Sounds good to me! Love fishing jerks.

Me too and for some reason I don't do it enough.
