After my last trip to Serenity Park and seeing the large-sized Micropterus salmoides as opposed to the bass that put the "micro-" in Micropterus, I decided that I'd hit it early with poppers and get hooked up with some. On our last trip we saw big bass feeding on bluegills, one of which was already on my line.
We got to the park around 6:00 AM, still dark. A cottontail was out feeding, he was a bit skittish but hung around while the spotlight was put on him and two photos taken. Not that wild at all.
Nice and dark and woodsy on the way in
So I got started fishing
While my photographer looked for inspiration (all these photos except the one of him were taken by Evan)
This was the only fish landed. Not in the class of fish I was hoping for but hey, he was a blast on the one weight!
Fished for almost an hour after that one little bass
Then the sun came up
That's when we noticed the littering
Someone or someones liked Keystone Light, but not enough to bother walking to the trashcan on the way out. Perhaps worried about mommy and daddy catching them? Who knows but it will take a boat to get those cans out.
A few stills to end on an upbeat - Tight Lines to all!
