Workin On The Weekend - Sudbury Res + A1 Pond
So I've been super busy at work and decided it would be best to put in a full day this Saturday. The wife and kids left town for the weekend.
I head into work around 8:30, get some good work done but spend some time thinking about taez555's Sudbury Reservoir trip report. At about 4:30 I take off and on the way home I pass the res so I stop by for a quick trip.
A quick walk down the path off of Farm Rd. and immediately catch a short LM. This area is super super weedy but I'm getting bites so I continue. A couple of casts later I get a real good strike on my pumpkin senko and I set the hook. The fish puts on a real good fight and then I realize its a SM (~2lb). It's actually the first Smallie I've ever caught. I can see why people like fishing for them.
The bite dies down so I head back to the car but now I got the bug. Luckily my Kayak is on the car and everything is packed so I head home and walk the dogs. Then off to A1.
Just a perfect night there. Fished from about 6:30 - 8:30. Caught about 6-7 largemouth. Had a Pickeral come off at the boat (Nice!) A couple shorts, some 1.5 pounders and a couple over 2. Fish were very active, killing the senkos with a Square Bill and Sexy Shad mixed in. I really love this place.
A great end to the unexpected workday.
