Derby Pond gave me constant action
Fished derby Pond in Woodside, De. last Wed. I had a great day with 6 species of fish. Crappie dominated the score with almost 30 fish to 13", followed by about 25 gills to 9" +, 10 Bass to 2 lbs., as well a 6 Yellow Perch, 1 White perch and may be 8 large Mill Roaches (up to a foot long). Action was constant as I explored the lake for the first time. My standard go to rig is a 1/16 and 1/32 oz jig inder a foam popping bobber tipped with a Gulp Alive 1" Minnow.
It was my first outing this year after gall Bladder surgery a couple of weeks ago. I'm looking forward to my next trip! Perhaps tomorrow.

Jeffrey,
I had Emerald Shiner and Chartruese on board. Both produced, but it was a bright sunny day and I felt as if the Chartruese did better.

Thanks, I keep both of these on my boat and the Chartreuse Shad has been dominant in the tidal waters I fish....Good luck and glad you're back on the water!

Dick,
I was lucky. The Dr.'s were able to get it out lapriscopically. It had been so long since I had fished that I was going through withdrawl. Thank goodness that the fish gods smiled upon me. I'm hoping to try another new pond tomorrow. Hpefully, it too will be productive.
