Pond 4-21-13

[Lake Chuck Duck]

Fished my buddy's salt water pond again with the wife and daughter. The highlight of the afternoon was my daughter catching her first fish ever! (She is almost 4 in a couple months) Unfortunately the wife has still proven to not have the patience for fishing, but a little more work and she should come around lol. We ended up with a nice mess of flounder, most of which were caught a poles length off the bank not even casting. I was just dipping the gulp shrimp in the water right there and they would hammer it! Nice mess for a couple hours of fishing.

so is this a landlocked saltwater pond that gets flooded by seawater frequently? or have the flounder acclimated to the freshwater?

If you will notice in the background of the pics, you can see a single covert pipe. This is the only entrtance and exit to the pond and water flows in and out of it based on tides. I have found that fish get in it and never leave. But everytime a hurricane comes it starts all over. When it got good again after Rita and right before Ike I was catching solid trout, 3-4 lbers. After ike didnt catch much but now it is good with the flounder. You could see the flounder all over hittin the top.

It is a 24 acre pond that flows thru a 36" culvert into the intracoastal a half mile south of calcasieu point it is completely tidal.

By the way, my little girl is definately a fisherman. She was getting mad that I was catching all the fish and blamed her rod as the reason she wasnt catching. Then she demanded that I give her my fishing pole to fish with. I was thinking thats about right! lol
