Adams Fish Pond - Taylorsville, NC

FISHING NEWS : June 30, 2008

The day finally arrived. We are now officially closed for this year. However we will try to accommodate groups of twenty or more for special occasions.
There were the normal number of rods being pulled in and of course the tales of the big one that got away was a hot topic. Steve Helms had JAWS himself on if you can believe his story. Observers from across the pond watched as he fought a great battle. Some thought that he was just putting on a show, but it was really a good fish. Several described it as huge but you know how fishermen tend grow their fish with each telling. Sure would liked to weighed this one in. Maybe next time. Kevin Mooe also put up a good fight with a monster fish only to be whipped when the fish gave a mighty lunge while they were trying to net it, broke the line and probably said as he swam away. (thought you had me Ha, HA).
We were open thirty-six days give or take a day or two. Almost every day produced at least one fish over twenty pounds. The weigh in sheet amounted to almost five hundred pounds on several days. More than one fisherman weighed in over one hundred pounds of fish for a good day. Several ladies did well. Pat brought in two over twenty pounds one day and several others close to that weight. Sandra also did quite well with the largest on Saturday, June 29th at over fourteen pounds. If we fish again next year and our ladies keep coming we will try and work in a ladies only tournament or two.
Thanks to all that helped us have some good fun this spring. We failed to get rich but I think we may have covered expenses.
Good fishing, Bob.

A little History...Adams Fish Pond was built around mid 1940 by Robert Lee Adams, father of Bob Adams. The pond was stocked and opened for public fishing for several years. In 1998 Bob Adams reopened the pond for public fishing. The pond is heavily stocked with large catfish weighing between 4 to 50 pounds.
