well just got back from the bass ponds in the hagerman WMA... long walk and it took most our time to find a spot that was clear enough to fish. saw tons of bluegill and a few tiny trout. big fish jumping further out in the ponds. theyre were hittin on a little yellow tube i was bouncin around but the hook was too big.
we packed up and walked back to the truck. we decided to throw in one last time, just to see what would happen... my buddy caught one first cast on a small mepps and then i threw in on his side and caught a NICE golden with a yellow rooster tail. it bent my hook sideways!!
overall great night fishin the ponds. i wanna go back and float the larger bass pond... it was clear of top moss and full of fish.
oh, since i have braided line i just tied a 6 ft red cajun mono lead. worked great and i got to use my larger pole.
