      Fished a local pond for an hour and a half this evening.  Fishing was slow, but did manage a couple.  I started in deeper water, and worked my way into shallow water, finally catching a largemouth about 15 feet from shore.  Had several bites after that, but no hook-ups.  Then caught my 2nd of the night – also about 15 feet from shore.

      I paddled along shore for a bit, and did see some bass still on beds.  I also saw some pumpkin seeds on beds.  Usually when I see sunfish on beds, it seems to mean that the bass are done guarding their nests.  I think this is the first time I’ve seen both on beds at the same time.

       

      Caught the first bass on a Strike King creature bait

       

      Second bass was caught on a Kalins lunker grub.  Lots of curly tail grubs out there….I feel like the Kalins tails “swim” at lower retrieve speeds…that could totally be my imagination and superstition though.
