Killing A Few Hours On The Water
snuck out of college to kill a few hours between classes to do some fishing in a pond down the road. i started out throwing a jig and a jerkbait with no luck their i switched it up to a drop shot and 10 minutes later i felt the "tap tap" and set the hook a little to soon and pulled the hook out of its mouth a little mad out myself for not waiting that extra second. i put it right back in the same area i had that first bite. i jerked the rod tip twice and let the worm sink back down slowly then lifted it back up and felt the dead weight i set the hook and the first thing i thought was i just pulled it through weed and then i felt a slight tug back and bam had a fish on. at first the fish didn't fight much till i got him closer then he tried to jump but barley breached the surface i finally got him in and wasn't the biggest fish only weighed about a pound an a half but still good for me!! the fish was real real cold took a quick picture and sent him on his way back the the depths. after putting a new worm on i made another cast in that same area and sure enough on the third pause i lifted up and another lifeless dead weight i set the hook and then after a few turns of the handle the fish came a live. it fought harder that the last one i was thinking this was bigger than the first but so i took my time bring him in turned out it was smaller this one weighting about a pound. i was fishing in about 20 ft of water were there is a little ledge i think there was a small school holding on it waiting for what ever crossed their path and just sucking it down. it was a good little get away from school!!
