2017 Pond hopping fishing videos and photos coming soon!
 
I have decided to hit some local ponds this year for some exciting fishing action. I'll be looking to post photos and videos of whatever bites my artificial bait offerings. Largemouth bass will be my main targets but rainbow trout, catfish, bluegill, yellow perch and a host of other fish species native to Maryland waters might be possible. My new pond hopping set up will be from Okuma Fishing Tackle. The rod I have chosen is the Citrix Travel Rod, the CIT-S-664ML in particular.
