Some Footballs & My First Spinnerbait Bass
Went out this past Thursday, trying out some new soft plastics I got. The Missle D-Bomb, and some new colors of Damiki Hydras and RI's Sweet Beavers. Caught a few nice fish, all in the 1 n'a half to 3 range. I actually caught my first fish on a Spinnerbait too, my 20+ years of fishing and I've never caught anything on a Spinnerbait, not even a Pickerel. I always heard how they were "cheater" baits like Senkos because theyre apparently so good in Stained-Muddy water and Windy situations, yet I've never even got so much as a nibble with a Spinnerbait until Thursday. I was actually not even really fishing it, I was slowly moving over to the next location I wanted to fish under Trolling power and left it in the water about a foot and a half down, and a nice sized fish hit it while it was trolling. I didn't even have my GoPro rolling, I had to immediately turn it out like halfway through reeling it in lol. I got it though. Here's the link to the video, check it out if you'd like.

This is not at the right pond; Tubbs Meadow has 4 connected bog ponds. There are no bass in these ponds, but some very large chain pickerel.
