Fishing the Wykle Pond

Fishing has been pretty slow on the lake and in the rivers as we have had some unusually warm weather so my focus has been shifted lately to farm ponds. Austin and I fished Lake and Amy Wykle's pond and had a bit more success than we have had lately. We caught several bass between the two of us. Austin caught a nice healthy one on a spinnerbait. The highlight of the day was an 8 pound channel catfish that I caught using (suprise, suprise) one of my new and improved in-line spinner elites. Even though it is not really a catfish lure, and wouldn't be my first choice had I been targeting catfish, I have caught some on this lure before. This was my first cat of the year and the biggest I have caught in some time.

Stonewall Jackson

Fishing has been pretty slow (probably due to the water temperature being a little too high) and Stonewall was no exception. Austin and I caught a few bass but nothing too special. It was nice to see some new water and do some advanced scouting for future trips. I do think that the highlight of the trip was the place that we ate at called TJ Muskies. It was the neatest outdoor sporting bar that I've ever seen with a musky mount that easily exceeded 50 pounds. I sure would like to get a hold of one of those.
