Went out & about Night Scoutin'..... some new territory last night.

Totally new place.......An old abandoned sort of old hatchery of some sort, way down by Quakertown NJ.

My Grandparent`s used to work/live on a farm in Cherryville & when I`d stay down there in the Summer, I remember Grams taking me to this place to fish. Now I was really young..... maybe 6 or 7 y/o...... but I remember her paying for me to fish in these ponds & as an adult, I`ve never exactly recalled where this place was. Other than I knew it wasn`t too too far from the farm.

But I`m pretty certain this would be that park/hatchery that she took me too as a kid. There are eight small ponds........ It`s isn`t a county owned park...... it`s owned by some sort of natural resources group & it is open to the public. Though it`s not very well kept anymore & out of the way.....

Anyway...... that was my targeted spot of the evening.......

And....

I wrangled up 4 Bass....... two 16" a 17.5" and this beauty a 20" Bucket-Mouth.......Yea...... I think I'll try this spot out again sometime........

Workin` the "Jawbone" top-water Mouse....... again.

Nice fish, bet she was fat in the spring. I've been looking at that mouse but reviews say it rolls on retrieve, was thinking a Lake Fork trailer hook might stabilize it?

Well..... I`m not one for reviews when it comes to lures...... I prefer to decide for myself....... & let me tell ya, I`ve been knockin` it outta the park with those Jawbone Mice......(Well hell.... Don`t buy any....they suck ass!)(Leave `em all for me!! ha! ha!)........ No seriously that`s all a bunch of shit pal...... they work perfectly fine in all types of conditions. i.e. pads, swamp-grass, open water............ They`re tough little friggin` lure too........
