Exclamation Sheperds Mills Pond 10/29

Got up this morning around 4 am and since saltwater fishing seemed out of the question, we decided we would go freshwater fishing. We decided we would head down to Rainbow and have Sheperds Mills as a back up plan. When we got to Rainbow, there was a trailer parked there already at 6:30 am . Glad to see we weren't the only nutjobs out there today . We took one look at Rainbow and realize it would be way too tough to fish. So we headed to Sheperds Mills Pond. We get to Sheperds Mills and launch the boat at 7:45 am. Two bad things happed. First, the bar you attach the trailer line to popped out. Next when my dad steps on the boat, the board that my seat is mounted on cracked which made things tougher. It was wet,windy,cold, and overall miserable. The fishing was OK considering the conditions. Im sure if we had less rain and wind we would have had a very good day. Conditions also were deteriorating. We got off the lake at 9:45 am. By the time we got off the lake, it began to sleet. We combined for 9 bass. Senkos and unbelieveably topwater worked. By the time we got home, there was a fine coating of sleet on the ground. Although it was a tough day, it was absolutely amazing catching bass on topwater during a frigid late October noreaster. Unfortunately, not only will we be restricted to shore fishing for the rest of the year, we are now done with our boat . Going to do some work on it, sell it, and hopefully upgrade to something better by next spring. Overall, it was a very interesting day to say the least .
