Super User gimruis Posted September 10 Super User Share Posted September 10 Not bad. I agree, they are a bit on the thin side. At least we can clearly see how big they are on the board. 👌 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least we can clearly see how big they are on the board. 👌 I almost titled the trip report, "This one's for you, Gimruis!" No kidding. Yep, the bass at my pal's pond tend to run thin after June. I have caught some thick ones in May and June. The bass at my pond are nearly always thick, although I did catch one skinny one last week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User GreenPig Posted September 10 Super User Share Posted September 10 Nice. I'm going in the morning at 530am - 1 or 3pm, haven't been in my boat since the 19th of July. Wind is forcast to be 10 - 15, which translates 15 - 25mph. I'am excited as a fat kid on the way to Krispy Kreme for donuts, to fish my two new BFS rigs and just be on my boat. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdxfisher Posted September 10 Share Posted September 10 Wow, those fish are super skinny. They look like they just finished spawning (obviously not but that is what they resemble). What kind of forage is in the pond you were fishing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like they just finished spawning (obviously not but that is what they resemble). What kind of forage is in the pond you were fishing? It's a Golden shiner forage base. Like I wrote above, they're thicker in May and June. Here are some examples: There's another pond that I fish where the bass are so well-fed that they look photographically distorted. Look at my avatar photo to see such a fish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex from GA Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Just think of all the people that didn't get the opportunity to get their string stretched, you did good. The fishing my way is a lot tougher than it's been but I have been going out some and even catching a fish. This is what happens when you leave a salt impregnated worm on a hook for a while, lost a good one today. 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance, I thought for sure you had hooked yourself. Glad that's not the case. A-Jay 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
