East Greenbush Town Park - Big Bass!

So i was driving through EG the other day and just happened to have my rod and tackle box so i threw a few casts out.....
 
Nothing........then i walk back over to the main beach and take one last cast way out past the weeds.......retrieve my lure to the edge of the weeds and was just gonna hop it across the top so it didn't get tangled in the weeds......well 1 twitch across and it got hammered.....probably 4 lbs or so of fighting largemouth......great big fat belly full of eggs and a seriously beat up tail.....was kind of cool to see and then to show the group of 2 moms and 4 or 5 little kids and explain the belly and tail and how they are preparing to spawn.
 
Let her go to make more little ones (bass is still closed??)

That's awesome ! ... and YES bass season is closed still, opens 3rd Sat in June, But is C&R all year.
 
Way to do some teaching too
 

I ice fished there over the winter (I was tired of getting skunked on the big lakes), I didn't get anything big, but still got a few perch, crappie, and a few little bass. Definately a good time and a nice little pond.

yeah, i've tossed a conoe in, pretty small, but makes presentation to the brush on the far shore a lot easier.
