The last two days have been exquisite warm enough but not too warm. Beautiful blue skies and just enough breeze to discourage the bugs. Saturday was the Kids Fishing Event on Seven Tree Pond as always a great success. Good turnout, plenty of volunteers and fish for the kids to catch.
Seems like the weather has turned for sure. Summer like temperatures on Monday after a chilly Saturday, in fact I wore my rain jacket all day on Saturday and for a while wished for my fleece vest under that. Monday was warm and humid although the air seems drier this evening.
This time of year I talk and exchange e-mail with lots of anglers and everyone is interested in the same topic. Are the bass spawning? Why, during the spawning period the male fish aggressively defend the nest that they have scooped out of the gravel along the shore or next to some object that provides cover. This behavior can make for some fast and exciting fishing. From my perspective it is the best “sight fishing” of the year. Meaning that we can see the fish we are attempting to catch.
