Great Sandy Bottom Pond In The Rain
Took a ride down to the Hanson area with hopes of finding a new spot or two on my day off yesterday. Knew there was rain coming, so I went prepared.
First I stopped at Oldham Pond and fished the boat ramp there for about 30 minutes. It was ridiculously windy, choppy and couldn't do much from that spot. Didn't get any bites at all and then it started raining. I packed up and took a drive around looking for somewhere else (thank god for GPS).
I ended up, after some off roading in the Jeep, settling on a spot on the dirt road part of Ridge Ave at what turned out to be Great Sandy Bottom Pond. I walked down the path marked by stones on the side of the road and found plenty of shore area to fish. It looked like the water level was really low. Fished through the rain for about an hour and a half.
Pulled out a couple small LMB's, 2 pickerel and a good sized perch. Not a terrible day, and looks like I found a new spot. I don't think I can fit the boat down that path, I'll have to do some more research to see if there's a better launch area for this pond.
No pictures today, sorry. It was too rainy and I was alone. Nothing really worthy of a picture anyways, but it was still a good day.
