So I took my ultralite rod with me and thought I'd try to catch a couple bass or a bluegill between gathering and boiling sap for surup.
Tried wax worms, tried gulp worms, and earthworms (there was a shovel leaning up against the barn).
NOTHING....
You know, that is a first. Don't think I've ever fished the pond without something hitting. I did however see ALOT of turkey tracks. They must have been going down to get a drink.
Plans for stocking the pond with gills has been put on hold for now. Grandpa said just keep the bass and throw back all the gills for a couple years. We did provide some more structure this year for the little buggers in the way of left over pvc piping from the bathroom remodel we did.
