Horton's Pond 8/15/08 Played hookie today and went to Horton's Pond. Got there at 6am and fished until about 11. They were bitin pretty good for an hour or so then it slowed down. Started off with a Pop-R and caught a few, biggest around 3 pounds. A real nice one got me wrapped around a stump and got away. Switched to a texas rigged red shad powerbait worm around 9 or so and caught two more. Best one was what I'm guessing was a five pounder at around 10. My scales went cupit so I couldn't weigh it. Real nice morning, not a soul out there and stayed pretty mild. Glad I wasn't on the water this afternoon, had a heckuva lighting storm come thru Cary.
Gonna give Harris a shot tomorrow morning with pops. He said he's gonna teach me a lesson so maybe I'll have some more pics tomorrow. Might have to break out the gummy worms if he starts schooling me. |
