Case Of Dink-itis
With finally finishing school, getting a job and such, I only work 3 days and have 4 off which is nice for fishing. So I was able to get out today on the kayak. I started in Longmeadow at this little pond I go to just to catch fish, ended up with 7 less than 1 lbers all on my favorite River2Sea Ish Monroe Biggie Smalls squarebills, that's when I decided I had a case of dink-itis. I decided to head to another pond nearby in Springfield that ended up with just 2 dinks in the 45 minutes of being there.
My last spot I hit is Spec Pond in Wilbraham, it's tiny and I get at least pounders there usually. I was throwing my squarebills/spinnerbaits/senko for around an hour with no bites. I got around 3/4 of the edge of the pond when I finally got a bite on the Biggie Smalls and I could tell it wasn't a dink immediately. When I get her on my lap, I weighed her and it was 4lb5oz, my first above 2 lber it seems like in 2 months. I see a guy fishing from shore so I paddle my little heart out, make him snap a quickie and watch the fish swim away. Caught two more dinks before taking off, was there around 1.5 hrs. Too bad tomorrow's supposed to rain, I have it off too.
