I was itching to get out today, but didn't have enough time to go too far so I explored a nearby spot I suspected might have some bass or other warmwater species. As I walked up to the water, I could see 3 nice fish cruising in the shallows.
I cast my unweighted black polliwog out and on the 3rd cast this one took it and I managed to get it in on my 4x I had been too lazy to change after a recent Deschutes trip. I was surprised with how big she was when I pulled her out of the water. Clearly looked like a female with some unfinished business, so I let her go quickly.
I then launched my float tube and managed one more a bit smaller than the first. I was blind casting to structure and this second one showed signs of digging recently.
All in all a really fun day out. And a good lesson that we don't always have to go far to find fish. Tight lines.
