Beck Pond 8/1/2012

I haven't done a trip in a while. I've been thinking about Beck pond lately and when one of my facebook fishing groups called Addicted to Fishing (you should join) asked for video with a shout out to the group I was inspired to head out there and see what this place looks like in the summer. It was about what I expected. Pads along most of the shoreline and lots of grass and hydrilla (I think. I'm no marine biologist ya know). As always I started out on top. But this trip was not only to make a video but also to try out a new lure made for walking the dog. This year has been dedicated to learning new techniques and this has been one that I didn't have much luck with in the past. Time to change that. My first hit of the day came on a wake bait but I lost him at the boat. He could have been pushing 2 pounds. Then I caught a pickerel on the new dawg. I was casting to the edge of the pads that was about 3 feet of water. I was using a camera on a tripod and one on my hatcam. After I made a cast and cranked it a couple of times (Walking the dog is fairly easy to do) I thought maybe I didn't turn on hatcam. As I was checking, the dawg got hit. I set the hook and he made an awesome jump. I got him to the boat and netted him (another thing I'm learning to use). The camera work at that point is a little shoddy but I get excited. Over the past 2 seasons I've caught a lot of fish in this range but I still get pumped like it's all new to me. If this stops happening I'm quitting fishing. I hope you like the video.

  • Nice job, I fish down the street from there quite a bit. Thats a nice little spot especially when you have it to yourself the way you did. keep the videos coming. hahaha

  • The tripod fell in the water yesterday. I just got it before it sank. Woulda been the second time I'd have to go in after it. lol I keep meaning to tie a rope to it. Hatcam is on there pretty good. They're both waterproof up to 10 feet

  • Haha, I'd be terrified it would drop in the water

  • Hatcam is a little uncomfortable too. I'm thinking of something else. I don't care if other people are around. When I was first trying it out I went to spot pond and was walking around with it. People were looking like wtf? I don't care. I'm a goof like that.

  • Hahaha love the video but that hat camera is comical looking, I dont know if I could of done it if there were people on the pond kudos sir
