I fished my pond yesterday looks like Brim are starting to bed and got several cpappies all had eggs. The best best bite was the GNATS and a surprise visit by a large snake swimming next to my boat i do not know whathis intentions were but I broke the end of my Buck jig pole scaring him off.My rod tip broke about 3 inches back fron tip I repaired it by using a small nail and super glue the tip is hollow pushed nail inside and glued let set seems to be ok will see how it works.
