F is for Fishing

I set out to specifically target sunfish, and got a surprise instead. After I finally got what I was after, I got distracted and changed tactics, but it didn't work out- and I ended up with a mixed bag of species, hits, and misses for the afternoon.

I recently got a Googan Green series Finesse spinning rod with a Googan 2500 series spinning reel, and today was the first chance I had to really put it to use throwing a 1/4 oz Rebel Pop-R for some topwater action.

So I'm trying to try out out the new rod I just finished setting up, and circumstances just don't seem to be letting me do it...

It was a cool, overcast, morning- perfect conditions for a topwater bite, so I can upsize from my whopper plopper 60 to a whopper plopper 75. While I was at it, I tied on a smaller spinnerbait on my medium rod as a backup.

I had time for a short session at a public pond while waiting to pick up one of my kids, It was overcast, and I still had a whopper plopper tied on, so I did what came naturally!

Had a big sunfish attack a topwater lure - have to appreciate an aggressive smaller fish that thinks it's a much bigger fish.

Started out intending to fish topwater, but ended up hitting a bunch of redbreast sunfish on the micro-jig around the area where the canal, the creek, and the main river all cross.

Tried out a small pond I haven't visited in a while- there were some impressive looking Bass there, but they were too out of it from the heat to hit anything. The bluegills. however, were very active.

I had a short window to fish during a break today, so I used the micro-tube jig again and kept hitting Green Sunfish everywhere I tried... a LOT of Green Sunfish.

Made a quick stop at the "Hidden" Pond Memorial Day Morning to try out my H&H Tackle Cocahoe Minnow Jig Spin- and was very happy with the results- including my new PB Bass, a new (to me) species, and something unexpected.

I hit up a hard to reach spot, and after trying a few things, settled on using a micro tube jig (a berkley powerbait atomic tube) for a variety of species.
