My Backyard
There is a nice small lake just a few blocks away from me. I drive past it everyday and have lived here for about 8years. I have fished there over the years and caught about 500 sunfish, a few catfish an eel and some small bass. But this year stories are flying about monsters in there so I figure I would put the canoe in and toss some crank baits. The water is very dirty, bottom is mud and just gross swamp smelling. average depth is about 3-4 ft. My dad on the 2nd cast pulls in a nice largermouth just under 2lbs. Dam there are some fish in here. As the day goes on and a few passes back and fourth I though I was stuck on more old burnt Christmas tress left over from winter. But then it pulled back, ya I landed a nice 4pounder! Made my day, Heard later that day a guy pulled a 6 out the week before. well I'll be stopping by there alot more now..
