Notes

Best fishing day of the year. Fished this park pond while wife had work meeting. Bass are in the shallows getting ready to spawn. The 4" lizard caught biggest fish; one 13 and one 14". Also lost an even bigger one on the Subwart. Rain half of time that didn't seem to affect fish.

Sounds like a great day of fishing!

It wasn't too shabby. It will be a good place on summer evenings for a quick trip.
