Bass and Bluegills

Type: Nontidal
Region: Centeral
Location: Local Ponds

Despite the hot weather we have made some decent catches of 2 to 3 pound bass along with some more quality bluegills last week. My nephew David and I fished a local pond for 14 largemouths and 17 bluegills. Bass hit stick worms and chatterbaits and the gills took a variety of small jigs and plain garden worms on #8 Aberdeen hooks.

To avoid shoreline algae and invading aquatic primrose vegetation we actually 'wet waded' for these fish and had a great, refreshing day on, and in, the water!
