I had a chance to hook up with none other Craig Taylor from Sunnyside Bi mart Sporting goods manager to do some more field testing of my new jig and lure designs. We hit a pond not far off of the I 82 corridor during the afternoon a and man it was another banner day for catching fish for the both of us. This particular pond seemed to be chock full of similar sized cookie cutter largemouth bass we casted various jigs at the western shore and picked off bass that averaged a pound to a pound and a half. I moved to the southern shoreline and caught a massive pregnant perch on my custom hand poured 3" Bass Taddy jig in dark watermelon pearl belly. I moved a little bit further east and found a school of aggressive 9" plus crappie. We had numerous fish on as soon as the jig hit the water. I should've called Craig the "Bass Master" as he caught bass after bass while i consistantly caught crappie after crappie. With both of our freezers full of fish filets we decided to practice catch and release. It was another day of awesome fishing for us both. Thanks again brothers for all your prayers for my recovery from blindness. Good luck and god bless. The Jigster

Love El Crappie! Specially when the family joins in. Every summer we would go to Banks Lake and fish the dock at the north end of the lake. we would start in August at 9pm and fish under the lights. With 10 people fishing 3 people shucking/ filleting and 2 cooks with buttermilk and special bread crumbs. Dinner next night was covered enough for all of your family and the 6 campers next to us..........Tight Lines..........d=^ )#

Cat they are part of the "Pit"ponds along the I 82 corridor, not the numbered trout stocked ponds. I fish a lot of the I 82 corridor ponds that don't have names like 1 through 7. Jiggy
