New Ponds and Fishing with my Son

The other day I tried a new pond close to my house. Not much was biting, but it was a really beautiful evening, and I managed to photograph this awesome sunset.


This evening I went fishing (abandoned the fly rod and broke out the conventional tackle) with my son at the youth camp where he works. We were fishing with Shrimp, which I don't remember doing since I did it with my own father more than twenty years ago. I was really surprised at what we caught. Zac caught a couple of catfish (yellow cats). Nothing too big, though. He has been catching 6-8 pounders with his boss out here at the camp. Then he caught a largemouth Bass on a piece of shrimp. I have never sen that before! It was about a 1 - 1.5 lb. fish. Later, I also caught a few small yellow cats, and then I caught a nice Crappie on shrimp as well. Again, this was a first for me. We had a good time, and I think we're going to hit it again in the morning.
