My biggest ever here was a little over 10 inches. Those gulp minnows work really well for me too. Hopefully, the fishing should pick up for panfish later in the month. Which pond was best for you? (Other than the private pond of course!) The Jigmiester

4/14/2009 3:27:00 PMThe only ponds the fishing was consistent were 4 and 5 although these were the most heavily fished because of the access. The only area I found any luck were along the dike. I would cast up parallel to the shore-line where I could see there was no bank access, and these areas held the most fish. Another spot to give a go would be along the dike on pond 5 on the south corner. There is a submerged "no trespassing" sign...I threw about 10 feet out from that and had hit after hit on the gulp minnow.

4/14/2009 9:57:00 PMI usually tip a 1/32 oz jig with one. I go with the black/silver scented gulp, and sometimes the really shiny 3 1/2 inch drop shot gulps. They aren't scented, but they make up for it in color...
