Went out with my buddy John on a quick trip to fish Black Pond in Meriden/Middlefield. Set off a bit after noon, so wasn't expecting much this time of year. Wasn't a bad afternoon, as we hooked a few decent bass and some little guys, all dragging frogs across lilly pads. Secret is to wear camo that matches the fish so you can sneak up on them :) Sure beats mowing the lawn!
Went back this evening with John and caught a few more fish. He had what I thought was a real big bass covered in weeds just after sundown. I'm telling him to just grab the damn thing and get it in the boat. Good thing he didn't lip it as it was a decent size pickeral.
