#12737, "Fish feeding on the surface around dark tonight."


          

I was up fishing the Cal Poly pond again. Caught two real small largemouth, a little under a pound each probably. On 4.5" brown colored texas rigged worms.

Around dark I saw a lot of fish feeding on the surface, big boils, little boils, splashes. Pretty much all the time there were fish rushing the surface. This was about 30-45 minutes before the sun went down. I tried throwing my Hula Popper out there, nothing. I tried rigging a worm so i could work it with a fast retrieve along the surface, nothing. I tried my spinnerbait, jigging with the worm, bottom jigging with the worm. nothing could get these fish to strike. I was thinking maybe if I had a flyrod I could cast some sort of pattern out and hook up a whole lot of fish.

Anyone have any tips on how to catch these fish? Should I try a small curly tail behind a jighead? I ordered some smaller worms and some bigger worms from Cabelas, as well as a shallow crankbait, another popper, one of thos eliving eye jigs and a titanium spinnerbait.

Another thing, the water level seems to be dropping really fast in this pond. Will the fish keep striking? Will the pond ever dry up. I also found the waay bigger resevoir, so Im not worried about losing a spot to fish.

Thanks

Evan
