Thread: Chasing Gill at our Town pond

Despite of the threat of high winds , the sun came out from behind the clouds around five today and I told my wife , I’d see her in a little while.
When I first got there the wind was blowing, but didn’t seem that bad around the bridge .
I had rigged up a double spider rig with an adjustable small weighted float .
I fish the jig and float on both sides of the bridge without any takers .
I had a little trouble casting , as it seemed the wind would gust just about the time I cut loose with a cast and there was no telling where it would land .
I switched over to a single spider drop shot rig and walked to the other side of the pond where it turned out , the wind was worse .
But it didn’t stop me from catching a small gill and a little redear .
With about twenty minutes left , I went back to the back side of the bridge where if I kept my casts low , I could cast ok , most of the time . One of my cast got a little high and wind blew it completely over the bridge .
I was able to catch my two bigger fish in that spot , a medium size colorful redear and a colorful nice bluegill .
Combo was my 5’4” SC Panfish paired with a Daiwa Legalis LT 1000 , spooled with 4# P-line .
I’m glad I went . The wind is supposed to be worse tomorrow, but if it’s sunny, I still might give it a try .
