Winter pond record 5

These are just extra notes on what species/hybrids I caught yesterday and how many.

I caught most of the fish using worm though I did catch one fish off a fake pink maggots alone. This time they where more aggressive and hanging closer to shore suggesting to me that they are getting ready for spring. In the first spot I caught 3 fish. The first spot was relatively shallow and in between two dread trees sticking from the water and a weedy shoreline. I did notice that some of the fish seemed to be eating a floating piece of bread that somehow got in the water. I cast in the area where I saw the fish and caught some. The second spot is where I caught most of my fish. The second spot a place that had a lot of cover because of the branches that have fallen into the water from the trees above the waterline. I believe the second spot is deeper as well. While I was leaving the second spot I noticed the fish eating and jumping at something near the shoreline. It was sort in a spot I passed that looks out onto the middle of the pond. I walked over and the fish fled. I realized the thing on the shoreline was some kind of baguette or some type of subway style bread. I cast in behind a few feet behind the bread, where there was some structure, and caught the last fish of the day.

I caught 3 bluegill.

I caught 8 greengill. They where more aggressive than last which is normal for this pond.

I caught 1 green sunfish. I normally catch this species more the spot 1 area. Though suppose I shouldn't be surprised I caught of these in spot 2, due to all of the branches and cover.

Note: Unlike some of my previous journals I actually took pictures of each individual fish mostly because I wanted to some more greengill reference photos for my art. Also this might be the last winter pond record since spring is almost here.
