Head's Pond Fishing Report

Fishing With Friends

I headed out to Head's Pond and Lakin's Pond in the morning with a couple friends from work. We started out in Head's Pond off a rock that stuck out past the lilly pads a little. My usual wacky-rig wasn't getting any attention, so I tried dragging a frog over the pads. I had a few strikes from some big bass, but they all missed. There were a bunch of small fish jumping around the rock and I wanted to find out what they were, so I threw in a rooster-tail and caught one. It was a golden shiner, but I did see some largemouth fry and other random sunfish swimming around with them. After a couple hours we went further on to Lakin's Pond and I caught a small largemouth. On the other side of the road there was an inlet to Head's Pond and I threw the wacky-rig to the other side and caught a huge largemouth. I lost him at the shore though, so it doesn't count. I caught another small largemouth, one of my friends got a sun burn, and the other broke his rod trying to retrieve a snagged lure, so we decided to call it a day.
