after helping my wife in compton with another load of boxes for the storage.( she's an eng teacher) to put away for the summer, i told her i was gonna fish the park for a few hours and that she could take my son home with her to ride the carpool lane..(compton to the I*E at 3:30pm..goodluck) so reached this park pond at bout 4:30 stopped by food4less for some corn tortillas for some carps on a 2nd rod..
it was a nice day 2nd rods up and functional, tied on a plastic rd/blk crawdad with bullet weight and did my regular 45/10 cast, as soon as i cast i here a bird comotion near my bag of torrtillas. they're tryin to jack me, even the birds are fowl at this park..bada*buam...anyways, i posted my bass rod up on the bench and ran to shoooo the birds away when i hear someone say "hey is thay your pole?" i look at the carp rod for any movement, none..then the guy says "not that one,the one on the bench.!"
oh shi7 if it wasn't for the rod being 7ft okuma it would have dived in..i pulled it in right away since i think the rod tired him out and he did'nt put up a big fight..after that the bite died out.
i fished till about 9:00pm and decided i wasn't gonna catch isht, so as i was walkin back to the truck i notice fry running on the top and said what the hell. tossed in the sppok for a final lap around the pond and this little guy slams it...i took a pic of him where i near the no fishing sign to show how small he was, but a good little fighter..friday might do another session over there since it's my wifes last day till after summer..back to fairmont..
