On Golden Pond

Or so you would think by looking at them. I actually caught them in Orange Grove this afternoon. As JR would say, "conditions were perfect, water lightly stained, wind light but cooling, cloud cover kept the sun at bay for most of the afternoon. It was a great day all except Linda didn't catch a one, not even a bluegill.

The bite was lite, very lite, like small fish nibbling. They were hard to hook. I had to keep moving the jig up and down about 6 inches and hoping I would catch one inhaling the jig as I lifted it. That is the only way I caught them. Caught them all on a BG Glo shad blue color about 4 foot deep.

A fun afternoon for sure,

Four golden slabs and one shorty that got fouled hooked and one goggle eye.

Yes it is Larry. Mixed it in the corn flour and dropped it in the pan. Very good if you like broccoli.

Hey buddy, it's only your fish if you catch them. By the way, they were hard to come by. About 1 fish per hour of fishing. Are you back on the water yet.

JR you can't believe Linda, she's a fisherwoman and like all fishermen except you and I, they all lie.

Yeah me too, too hot to fish and if Linda has to have back surgery it will mean a lot less fishing.

Nice catch PPG! That Tannic Acid in the water sure makes em pretty. We get that here in Black Lake and nearby Saline a lot. Hope your doing well, looks like you are!

I always enjoy your posts Mr. Gene. I'm going to have to try that fried broccoli that looks and sounds great! Hope Mrs. Linda's back is ok
