If you are in Union tomorrow June 4th, 2011, my neighbors run a kids fishing event. We will be at Ayer Park (where my exploring nature trips start) from 10 AM to 2 PM. All of the worms and equipment that a kid could need to catch a fish along with plenty of volunteer instructors to explain how. No licenses required for those at the event. Not to mention free food! .jpg)
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.
