The pasture ponds are prime ppl! My best wouldn't have been much over 3 pounds but they took spinners and soft grub type lures well. Water was stained nice enough to make them aggressive so Susan caught a few too.

OK. Time to rip some lips. Have access to two private lakes. The St. Croix rods will be given a workout soon. Maybe this week.

Thanks we had a blast. Even started restocking a smaller pond who lost its dam a few years back. Next trip I might harvest a few 15 inch males. I doubt the cycle of life will miss them much.

When we want a fish fry we keep everything under 14”. Or keep enough until we have enough for the fish fry. Our should be bedding on this upcoming full moon.
Here’s a few pics from last week.

Bass are really good grilled over mulberry, after being scaled, gutted, scored and covered with olive oil mixed with Tony Chachere’s.

Looks like a fun relaxing day, congrats.
I like catching those big mouth carp but ya'll can eat them. They rank towards the bottom of my edible fish list.

Nice fish. Perfect eating size. I've been hitting the bass pretty regularly the last 2 weeks in the strip pits.
Been catching the heck out of 13-15 inch fish. Caught an egg heavy 19 inch and a 21 inch last weekend.
I returned them to the water unharmed
