Got to my boss's pond and started throwing a little topwater bait and caught 2 keepers.  Looked up the pond and there's a jonboat with two people in it.  Didn't look like they were fishing and as they got closer, I saw one was running the trolling motor while the other was dumping what I later found out was fertilizer into the pond.  They commenced to run right up where I was and that ended my fishing there.

Went up to the upper end and caught two dinks and then came back to the deeper end and saw they'd finished fertilizing and had pulled the jonboat out of the water.  Threw a Wiggle Rig/Speed Worm out from the bank and caught a 2 lber.  Tried it again and a nice 5 lber picked it up off of the pond's bottom.

Caught 3 or 4 more dinks and left for home, happy for the 5 lber.

Nice fish! Send some of those beasts down to Statesboro!

We don't know what a wiggle rig is. Is it a dropshot with a leader? does that bead float the worm? Please explain this rig.

Oh yeah, good fish.

There's a link to their site in this thread.

It is similar to a drop-shot rig but I use the rigging method that keeps the bait near to the bottom.  You "float" the worm by your rod tip action.  The bead is just to keep the swivel-clip from banging into or getting tangled with the worm's 'nose'.

Nice fish Dan.  How many jobs did you go through until you found a boss who had a nice pond, LOL...

Good looking fish Dan, congrats! What's up with the fertilizer?

T-rig:  It was aquatic fertilizer for the plankton(I think?) so the food chain can increase in numbers and size.

BB:  That was my last job.  I retired in Feb. of this year.  He wasn't my boss at the stockbroker's firm when I joined.  I just lucked out when he got promoted a few years ago.
