6-17-2010 Big Bear Hole Pond, MA
We had a cold front and rain come thru overnight, so I wasn't expecting action as fast & furious as the day before - plus, I only had about an hour and a half to kill, so time was short... And it WAS much tougher today - but I did manage to catch 3 chain pickerel on a small 1/8oz silver/white spinnerbait. I tried several other lures & presentations, but wasn't drawing much attention, so out came the Senko-like Strike King Shim-E-Stick in watermelon/red flake... and as I was bringing in the lure for another cast, it fell into a gap in the lily pads only about 6 feet away from me in maybe a foot of water - and BAM! my line took off the other direction! I set the hook and pulled up a pretty nice largemouth bass(see pics). A good day overall, especially for the short time available.
