Prairie Park Pond

5 all about the same size on a rooster tail

I thought that the couple of fish I caught over the lunch hour were on the small side…I should have quit while I was ahead. Each consecutive bass I caught after work was smaller than the one before it. I was going to keep fishing, but at the rate I was going I would have been catching minnows on a spinnerbait. Tomorrow is another day.

Nothing to special but hey.

After a less than fulfilling experience at the new pond, I decided the day wasn’t over yet and made one more stop. Nothing of size, but a couple of catches to make me feel better about the day.

Was in this lake’s neighborhood, and I heard a little voice say “hey Jeff, come see me”… who am I to say “no”, so I dropped in to make a couple casts. Glad I did. 2 decent sized largemouths, a couple runts, and a crappie within the span of 45 minutes. Not bad for an impromptu stop off. Going to head back towards home and see if any other bodies of water are calling out to me between here and there.

This guy was a fun fight.

Nothing to crazy

Beautiful day. First trout caught this year on a rapala. Yes all smiles
