Thread: Changed plans after arrival

I got. To the pond today around 12:30 with temps in the upper 40’s and east winds 12-24 mph .
I took one combo , a 6’6” St Croix Avid with a Daiwa Exceler/Legalis spooled 1000s with 3# Floroclear. I planned on float fishing the same area I fished yesterday but the east wind wouldn’t let me get close to where I was casting the last two trips .
Walked to the other side of the pond and took off my float after going fishless for 20 minutes and I started twitching.
I couldn’t cast very far, but it was far enough to reach fish in the deeper water on that side .
At first I thought it was going to be a green fish day , but I finally caught three gills and a shellcracker just before I left after just under two hours total .
I started not to go at all today with the wind , but I hoped with fishing the pond , I could find an area where I could fish .
The big storm comes in tonight with lows in the teens all week . Might have some hard water at the pond before the week is done. I’ve seen it freeze before .
Edit : I used my same little mini trout magnet micro jig I’ve been using under a float .
