Subject: Absten's Pond(private pond), West Virginia
Submitted by Rob C. (ip 141.153.19.141)
Date Fished: 4/7/2005
Water Temperature: 60
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet Got out today for an hour and a half before I had to go to work. Fished my neighbor's pond where I caught my first bass of the year back on Feb 27th. No such luck today. It seemed like a perfect fishing weather day what with the overcast sky, periodic drizzle, and 60 degree water temperature. First I tried a Strike King 3/8 oz. bleeding bait spinnerbait with the chartreuse skirt with red strands in it with no hits. Next I tried a half ounce chrome and black Rat-L-Trap that I put a red #4 eagle claw laser sharp treble hook on the front and a #6 eagle claw laser sharp bronze treble hook on the back. I put these hooks on all of my Rat-L-Traps when I get them home from the store because I don't like the stock hooks that come on them. But I did'nt get bit on the Trap either. Next, I tried a Strike King 1/4 oz. bleeding buzz bait with a red and black skirt and a red Strike King 2/0 trailer hook. Turns out the trailer hook was'nt needed because I did'nt get a strike on it either. The last lure I tried was a 5" Strike King 3X Zero( like a senko) in watermelon with red flake, Texas rigged on a 3/0 Eagle Claw laser sharp wide gap hook with no weight. I fished all of these baits all the way around the pond before I'd go to the next bait. This now makes two skunkings in a row and I hope things go better next time.
