Subject: Private Pond, California
Submitted by SonomaJake (ip 67.117.144.93)
Date Fished: 3/15/2004
Water Temperature: 68
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater Snuck out for a few hours on a private Sonoma County lake that has public sign in access. Bank fishing only, catch and release. Spent the 1st hour telling myself I would never come back because of the weeds near the shoreline extending 10 yards offshore. Lots of Bass and Bluegill fry, however and so I was determined to walk around the ~15 acre lake. I'm glad I did. As I came to the deeper side, I proceeded to catch 9 bass (for 9 strikes) in 75 minutes ranging from 1-3lbs. All on a chartreuse and black spinner bait (willow blade). Two fish came on consecutive casts. All fish had to be pumped to the surface to keep them out of the weeds. I've switched to 10# test to gain casting distance and I needed all that I could get casting into the wind.
