2017 Pond hopping fishing videos and photos coming soon! I'll be fishing local ponds in Maryland and posting my fish catches along the way. Look for pond fishing YouTube videos and photos on my social media channels in 2017. My set up starting out will be one Okuma Citrix Travel Rod paired with a Okuma Trios High Speed spinning reel. 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.
