I rode my Brompton to the neighborhood pond to do a bit of fishing. The water was murky and yucky but the fish were biting! And on the way home I saw that the Texas bluebonnets are starting to appear. A pretty good day.

An hour of fishing at the local pond is a perfect way to unwind and relax. And bicycling there is a nice bonus! Too bad I only got one bite and no fish… I think the fish are less active now that it’s getting colder. Oh well, still fun!

I went on a bike ride this afternoon with the intention of doing a bit of fishing, but I came up empty-handed. It’s ironic that the larger lake near my house is so unpredictable, while the small neighborhood pond is teeming with bluegill. But I do enjoy trying my luck at different lakes, and the bike ride itself was a lot of fun, so I’m not too disappointed.

This evening, Piplup and I rode down to the neighborhood pond for a quick fishing session before sunset. The bluegill were biting like crazy! The pond is very small, so the fish aren’t big, but I did manage to catch this one, which is probably the biggest I’ve caught so far. I’ve heard from others that there are bass in the pond, but I haven’t had any luck catching them yet. But I’m happy catching bluegill on 4 lb test. I think even 2 lb test would be fine. It’s so much fun!

Look at these pretty little bluegill! They’re so much fun to catch. I recently watched some videos on how to clean and cook them, but I’m worried that the ones in my neighborhood pond are too small. Maybe if I catch a big one, I’ll take it home for dinner. 😀

I went fishing at the local lake this morning. I decided to target bluegill, which are a high-probability fish, instead of bass, which I have never caught before. I caught a small one right away, but I wasn’t able to catch any larger ones. The fishing spot got crowded pretty quickly after a boy scout troop arrived, so I packed up my gear and went for a ride before heading home. It was still a fun little trip, and I’m glad I got to catch a bluegill. 🎣

In celebration of World Bicycle Day I went with Piplup for a ride around the neighborhood, did a little fishing (didn’t catch anything), and returned a book to the library. The weather was perfect! The fresh air an pretty clouds were so uplifting.

Today at lunch I rode down to the neighborhood park to practice casting with a new fishing rod and reel. I got a Kastking baitcaster which is my first baitcaster type reel. It’s challenging to use! But it’s fun to learn, and the mistakes I’ve made practicing here at the grassy field were a great learning experience. The “birds nests” that I created weren’t too terrible!

But it’ll take a while before I am able to cast with decent distance effectively. Lots of fun, though!

A new park just opened in our town, and it has a large lake at its center. I went with Piplup to check out the fishing, and although we didn’t catch anything, we had a very nice ride. And as a bonus, I got a tip about a good fishing spot from another fisherman. Score!

I got the urge to go fishing so I headed to the neighborhood pond to cast a line. The water level was pretty low so it wasn’t ideal by any means, but it was still fun!
