Barrett's Farm Ponds, 8/31/19

Debbie and I headed over to Barrett's Farm Ponds on 8/31 to get a little fishing in before dark. We put the Jon boat in pond #2, and began to poke around a little. Didn't catch anything big, but had fun putzing around the pond and enjoying the afternoon. Here's a few pics...

Cow Pasture, 8/25/19

Today was another cool and overcast day, with temps in the mid-70's. Unusually cool for August, but very welcomed :-) After dinner, Debbie and I decided to do a little fishing, so we first stopped in on Moccasin Creek. The creek was very high, and very muddy...probably from all the recent rain. We had a few hits, but didn't land anything. As it neared dark, we loaded up to head home. On the way back, we stopped in at the Cow Pasture pond for a few minutes. This pond is at least 18" lower than usual from irrigation of the surrounding crops. We fished about 30 minutes, and Debbie landed this large mouth bass on a 5" YumDinger...

Airfield, 8/24/19

Today was overcast and much cooler than recent days... a high of about 75 degrees, overcast, and light rain. Much better than the recent weeks of 90's with 80+% humidity and bright sunshine! We've been busy, unmotivated, and I've been under the weather a bit to boot. We ran over to the Airfield a while this afternoon in a while. The pond is still overrun with hydrilla from the pond being pulled so low for irrigation usage. We managed to catch a few among the spunk, and still had a good time. It was great to get back out fishing again! I was fishing top water with a Ribit Frog, Debbie was fishing sub-surface with 5"worms rigged weightless and weedless. Here's a few pics...
