Started off fishing rooster tails and first cast got nailed by a 10 inch bass.
stayed with the pattern for 30 min hooking up with multiple bass (up to 1 lbs) and crappie (spike to slab) and even a stocked trout (brookie). Switched to the fly rod and caught everything in the pond...bass, trout, bluegill, crappie (both black and white), catfish(bullhead), yellow perch and something not sure what it was...some kind of baitfish. Did not have the camera so no identity on the unknown?
Spring has Sprung and a little bend in the rod is just
Also took a hike today with the kids at Sourland Mountain Preserve (Somerset Co). There is a very small pond there and you could see the bass in the shallows. These guys were not even scared of our dog who was swimming almost on top of them.
