fishin' report with pics

[NJ219bands]

Went ultralight carpin' in a park pond yesterday evening. Only landed a bluegill and 12.5 lb snapping turtle with my homemade corn meal bait on a #14 gold treble hook and 4 lb test line. Fish stop biting when the snappers arrive to eat my corn chum. That's 23.5, 17 and 12.5 lb snappers that I caught in the pond this year. I caught and released 75 bluegills, 4 pumpkinseed sunfish and 2 largemouth bass to 18.5" and 3 lbs on my unbaited hook yesterday. Looks like a #14 gold treble hook is my best lure.
