Had a flat tire this evening. Luckily, the Tire Store fixed it quickly and even better, did not charge me. Still had enough light for a quick trip to a nearby pond. Used a Four Weight Fly Rod and a COAF Guadalupana. Worked the shoreline and caught a Bass and a Sunfish. Fun stuff!

Big thunderstorm rolled through this morning. Luckily, it passed through and things cleared up. Decided to fish the pond by In-N-Out Burger. Used Senkos and Ultralight Gear to catch seven Bass. Then, went on to Glendover Pond and caught two more. Today's catch was nine Bass. All were caught on Senkos. Did have one young fisherman show us his catch. A Bass that went for a live fingerling Bluegill. Good to see others catching them!
PS: Fished the evening bite. Checked out Auburn Springs with no bites; stopped at Bethany and caught three Bass. Used Senkos again but went with Baitcasting Gear this time.

Fished Glendover this round. Did a little "scouting" with the camera, taking a few underwater shots to see what was lurking near the pier. Saw mainly Bluegill but did see a glimpse of a Catfish going by. So, baited up a fishing rod with Bread and managed to catch two Catfish. Largest went 20+" in size. Fun stuff!
Been tinkering with the homemade automatic hooksetter. Have tested it out several times and caught Bullheads. Reworked the trigger making for more consistent hookups. But, still need to work it just a little bit more based on today's outing.
Managed two Bruiser Catfish at Glendover Park using Bread for bait. Missed several others when the trigger released either too early or too late. One Catfish went about 17" in length and the other went about 20".
Going to start bringing a tape measure so we can quit "guestimating". Also, this last modification to the trigger should make a difference on hookup rates going forward!
Windy day but managed to freeline some Bread at Glendover Park. Had several strikes and misses and two solid hooksets! One Catfish went about 17"; other went 20"+. No ruler but easily makes the 15" minimum of the COAF Leader Board for this year! Fun stuff....
Went to Glendover Park with JB11 for a go at the Catfish. Brought Bread and the Homemade Dough Bait. Action was steady on both baits. Caught and released 10 Catfish ranging from 16" to 20" in size with the majority going 18"-19".... Fun stuff!
Fished Glendover Pond. Been awhile since we fished the pond. Caught mainly Bluegill but did get a little Bass. Bluegill were hitting on Dry Flies, Foam Rubber Spiders, and Wooley Buggers. Bass was caught on an Olive Crawdad. Do know there are some Bruisers lurking in the pond but none caught this round. Also, while there, observed several nice looking Catfish caught using Bread for bait!
