Mason and I went to a neighbor's farm pond last night. It's almost like cheating. He and I both caught nice bass on our respective first casts. It was our first time fishing there too, as our neighbor just purchased this farm last year and we had not found our way back to this pond yet. It sits out in the middle of a bean field. Out of sight, out of mind kind of deal. I don't think anyone has fished it for a mighty long time. There was no sign of anyone having ever been there. That, of course, is not the case but it has obviously not seen much pressure in recent years. It's a hidden gem it would seem. Mason helped the neighbor and put up some straw yesterday and wasted no time in securing permission.... haha. That's my boy. We caught about 20 bass, a giant crappie, and a handful of bluegill too. I'll look forward to our next trip.
