Big news from the HowardFilms office in Virginia!

Our road trip "Bass: The Movie" is done -- by the Holidays no less! The 2-disc set includes "Bass: The Movie" and Disc 2: The road trip continued. Disc 2 includes a complete retrospective interview with Bill Dance, done over a couple days on my trip to Memphis, and scenes not included in the movie including bass caught in unique ways in some unique places. In case you hadn't heard, the movie brings both fly and conventional anglers together to compare skills and tactics and world record holders from both sides as well. I won't tell you who caught the biggest fish, but all I can say is both sides respected the fish's size.

One of the first things we saw upon arrival were a very large set of deer tracks on the beach. Then out on the pond I noticed a group of ducks and upon watching for a moment realized I just had my first Bufflehead siting of the season. These are artic ducks that migrate to the waters of SE MA to winter over and are fun to watch as they act like the ducks at a carnival shooting range. Half will disappear and just when they reappear on top the others disappear. Couldn't get too close to get a good photo. Apparently they are a little camera shy .

The weather really could not have been nicer for the first week in November. It was a stellar day and as was said several times throughout the day it doesn't get any better. Gillbuster missed last weekends foray to the Smallie... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (JeffSod) http://thebasspond.com/topic/2029 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 18:16:51 PST http://thebasspond.com/topic/2023/t/Fall-Afternoon-Fly-Fishin---Smallie-Honey-Hole--Photo-Essay.html Had the great pleasure to spend the afternoon at a friends secluded smallie honey hole. A warm front blew thru last night in New England and we awoke to light rain and cloudy gray skies. But by midday the sky began to brighten and the wind to abate. From there on it just kept on getting nicer and nicer and we ultimately had a stunning sunset which I truly enjoyed on the ride home after a fine day chasing smallies in a jewel of a kettle pond.

Its afternoons like to today that get you thru the long cooold winter.

Hope you enjoy the pics...

Saturday was a complete washout in our area and the local movie theaters were cleaning up. I am sure there were hardcore fisherman toughing it out and probably reaping the rewards of the crummy weather but not me (this time). I am sure glad I waited as it was perfect out there today.

This pond is not easy to access and thus doesn't receive much fishing pressure. It also gives one the feeling you are fishing much further north in New England than you really are due to the lack of houses and serenity it offers. We were able to see much wildlife around the lake such as the resident kingfisher making his way round the ponds treeline along with some wild turkeys calling to gillbuster like sirens.

Additionally there were numerous bug hatches going off not that I am any expert. The most prolific seen on the... ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (JeffSod) http://thebasspond.com/topic/2011 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 17:49:27 PST http://thebasspond.com/topic/2010/t/Anyone-still-fishing-.html Not much activity on the board lately. Anyone still getting out???

I picked up a small bass on a foam beetle yesterday with fairly calm winds it was hard to resist trying the foam terrestrials again though I fear that season is quickly coming to end. I was fishing a small river nearby the other day when I kept hearing this suttle but distinct noise behind me. When I finally honed in on its source it was a large Grasshopper on the tip of a tall poison ivy bush eating the berries on the bush. His markings were very much the same as the woody stem of the bush he was on and difficult to see but the loud crunching gave him away. Probably should have tossed him on a hook and sent out in the river but since he was eating poison ivy berries he was safe from me ]]> feeds@kickapps.com (JeffSod) http://thebasspond.com/topic/2010 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 05:04:28 PST http://thebasspond.com/topic/2008/t/State-Record-Smallmouth-Bass.html
