During my hour long lunch break at work, I like to go out and hit the local retention ponds. I planned on going out Thursday with a coworker. My wife had called and said she needed me to come home to do something quick, so that settled where we were going to fish. I have 3 nice size ponds in my subdivision. The day before I had gone out and was trying out a new jig combo I had made up.
I had hooked into a pig and lost it because I was standing on top of a culvert. I grabbed the line to hold the fish steady and the line snapped and away she went. I was out for revenge. We have been getting some rain here in the Chicagoland area. I knew the water would be coming through the spillways and culverts. First stop on our lunchtime outing was at the North spillway. First cast and I nailed this guy:
That was all for this spot. We went back to the scene of the crime from the day before. I was able to stick two more in this spot. Here is a pick of the bigger one:
Jeff was the winner of the day. He caught a nice pig using a white pond magic spinnerbait. He said it was the biggest bass he has ever caught.
It sure was a rewarding lunchtime for the both of us. Thanks for looking!
