Well, took a ride down there last evening after spending the day
car shopping with my friend. The DMV was more fun than Sunset Park!
First off, it was a really nice park pond. The ducks hissed at me and I hissed
back at them which was more fun the fishing. Once again, watercraft ruined
my fishing trip, in hte form of 1/8 scale radio controlled nitro boats....
I started off using a SLUG-GO carolina rigged, but changed to Rapala
Crankbait to avoid all the weeds on the bottom of the pond. Tons of
weeds on the bottom! After still getting tangled in weeds 60% of the time,
I switched to a Bomber Fat A, painted like a crawfish, a shallow diver.
I only got in the weeds about 5 % of the time, but still no fish.
The hardest part of the night was watching these small bass follow my lure
right into shore, then swim off. They were only 3 - 5 inches long..
A guy fishing near me caught a small bass using anchovies. Another guy
on hte other end of the pond caught a small carp, around a pound or so.
Other than another fishless day, 1/8 scale boats and and aweful smell from
the duck island, the night wasn't too bad. I covered alot of ground with that
Fat-A...too bad the fish weren't a bit bigger, maybe they'd strike it..
