My Pond

[mikesheezy]

[QUOTE=txcurry;163279]Just thought you guys might like to see one of the little green sunfish I caught last weekend out of one of my ponds.


You have some good size bass in your ponds?

that looks like a rock bass half sunfish half bass thats why it has such a big mouth.

I am told the back pond has some good size bass in it but I have yet to catch one.My neighbor down the road said he caught a 4#er in there a week before we moved in (he had the previous owners permission to fish there any time). I only fly fish and haven't seriously targeted them yet. They were put in there by the lady I bought this place from. I have only targeted the sunfish because they are so easy and there are some large ones in there that hit topwater flies like a bass. I have also caught cats on the flies, but they have always been the smaller ones, and it's only an occasional one.

It is a Green Sunfish, they have larger mouths and are almost bass-like.

I recognize that spot from the reflection of the tree on the water.

It's only a matter of time before I poach every one of those lil greenies.

You should have cropped out the background.




j/k of course

Thanks for sharing your lil' slice of heaven on earth with us.
Envy is one of the 7 deadly sins, I will simply admire your pond.

Thank You all. I am in N.E. Texas and my ponds are no more remarkable that the many others in the area. A lot of the ponds here have beavers, and there is a Great Heron rookery on our back pond, which is also fairly common here. By the way, we're about 15 minutes from Lake Fork and about the same from Tawokoni, if I wish to go Bassin' in a big pond.
