I had Monday off but didn't feel like going far so in the morning I hit up Echo lake and had some luck on a swim jig. Then mid-afternoon, even though it was sweltering, I found a nice shady spot off the beaten track at Lenape and settled in with a cooler of ice old beers. I wasnt really expecting to catch anything on account of the heat, more just looking to relax in the woods and have a beer or two, but to my suprise i landed one decent fish and two dinks. So then last night I decided to take my dog to the pond closest to my house - Nomahegan - to see if I couldn't go three for three. I wasn't expecting much since I have had very, very little luck at Nomahegan (skunked probably 20 out of the 25 times I have fished it this year). Anyway I managed to catch not only a bass (not huge but a good fight) but I also landed a nice channel cat on a shallow running crank of all things. Pics aren't the greatest of the channel since my phone didn't have enough juice to use the flash so I had to improvise with my headlamp. All in all a good day of fishing within a 3 mile radius of home! Link to pics below.
