Today I went pond hopping for about 4 hours out in Vernon Hills. I was on my way to one of my secret ponds and I ended up passing a place I hadn't fished in awhile. I figured I would give it a try and see if the flick shake would produce again. In 15 minutes I had my answer. I caught two really small bass, but it was better than the skunk and it furthered my belief in the flick shake technique. I went to about 3 other ponds in the area with no bites. I tried throwing a fire tiger 1-minus, chartreuse spinnerbait and a redeye shad with no results. Hopefully, the weather will start to get more consistent, so I can get out and find some big guys.
Here's a pic. Even though he's little, he's got some great color.
