On Wednesday, I set up my lures for a blue sky day at the local pond only to be fooled by Mother Nature with clouds and overcast skies so my lures produced nothing.

Today, I had a morning meeting with a client in Irvington so I took my spinning setup and blue sky lures with me to fish the three acre pond that holds the water for the sprinkler system.

I decided to throw a white with black dots small Rooster Tail to find the bream when on my second cast I nailed a small bass.  The Rooster Tail got caught in the wind a few casts later and ended up in a holly bush so it was gone.

I then rigged a chartruse and white 3/8 ounce spinnerbait with copper leading a silver Colorado blades.  Caught three small bass on this set up.

Changing to a 1/4 ounce chrome with black back Rat-L-Trap, just to see what would happen, I caught my fifth bass. All this happened in about 50 minutes before the start of the meeting.

Not bad for a guy fishing in his grey dress slacks, a white dress shirt and a red tie while wearing black loafers.  The best part was that I actually smelled like the bass all day; even after driving to Woodstock for a Board meeting.  Great smell.

Five bass in 50 minutes on a pond I had never fished.  Not bad but there are some big ones in there and I hope to return to try to find them later this summer.

Nothing better than fishy smelling hands.  

I was just saying last night how it's good to have the smell of bass on my hands again.

Nice work
