Default Colonial Lake - 7/12/13

Was done with work on Fri by noon and was fishing by 1:15. Fished to about 4 PM @ Colonial Lake. It's a decent sized park pond/lake in Mercer County that I've never fished before. Started by throwing a 4" black senko. Water was pretty murky... And shallow in most areas. Managed one really small LMB as it started to drizzle. Switched over to a 1/4 oz white spinnerbait to add some flash in the dingy water. As I worked the bank, i noticed a bit of a slope and drop in a few areas so I slow rolled the spinnerbait and sure enough pay dirt. Nailed two fish in about 10 casts working the drop off. One was solid 2 lb'er and the other was larger, likely pushing the higher end of 2 lbs. Didnt hook up again after that and high-tailed it outta there in the midst of a downpour. Not a bad way to spend a few hours... Scratched the proverbial itch and had some success in a foreign piece of water.

Catch em' up!
