Subject: Barr's Pond (private pond, Leon WV, West Virginia
Submitted by Rob C. (ip 141.153.19.141)
Date Fished: 6/10/2005
Water Temperature: 80
Water Clarity: 0 This report is for Friday, June 10th. Took the boys back to the pond for some more practice for the Mason County Family Resource Network Parent/Child Fishing Derby that will be held tomorrow at Krodel Park in Pt. Pleasant. We did'nt do as well as we did yesterday. They only caught about 5 or 6 hybrid sunfish apiece and I did'nt catch anything at all. Maybe it had something to do with the rain showers last night as the pond was a little muddier than it was yesterday. My 8 year-old boy, Robbie, wanted to try to fish with one of my setups and asked if I could teach him to cast a baitcasting outfit. After showing him how about 4 or 5 times I let him try it for himself. I adjusted the spool control a little tighter than I use it and handed it to him and he turned out to be a natural with it. Not even so much as a loose loop of line. I told him not to be afraid of a backlash because they make Trilene everyday and I had plenty to fix it with if he made a mistake, which he did'nt. He proceeded to work his way all around the pond with that 7' Quantum Bill Dance rod and 6500c Ambassadeur reel and probably made 25 or 30 casts with it and never got a single stray loop in it. By then it was about 11:20 and we'd been there almost an hour and a half so we went home and hit the pop up pool to cool off.
