small lakes and storm ponds

Post by tnj8222 » Sat Jun 13, 2009 8:18 pm

i fished a secret lake today with a buddy of mine that knows a guy that lives close to it. you have to walk 10 minutes through the woods to get there then the only way to fish is to bring waders, one pole and a minimal of tackle.

we get there at about 5 or so, and the sun was bright and hot with blue bird skys. not my favorite conditions by any means. lots and lots of weeds in this lake and a TON of bluegills. we were using senkos since they are the best choice for this amount of weeds. we both went about 45 minutes with nothing and he was a bit dissapointed the fish werent biting, i told him no they are just doing something different than they were yesterday for him. he was hitting good fish yesterday on the floating weed beds, today they were in the reeds in 3 to 5 feet of water. as soon as i found were they were it was nonstop action for the next few hours. after about the 4th or 5th 3 pounder i stopped taking pics.biggest fish was about 3 and a half to 4 pounds nothing big this time but he says he has caught a 7 out of here and his buddy caught a 10. only about 7 people fish this lake and they mostly go after chrome not green so they are not at this lake very often at all, you can really tell it gets no pressure. cleanest lake i have ever seen and the bass sure do bite. hopefully i will be able to fish this lake some more. i know its a private pond of some sort but they didnt really want to talk about it much. he did say its a rehabilitaion pond. not sure all i know is, it was ALOT of fun out there today.

thats my report from yesterday. my point is this is actually a flood prevention storm pond, its actually a series of them and has no fishing pressure at all. im sure most people dont even know there are fish in here if they know this pond even exists. i clearly saw a monster bass jump about a foot out of the water around sunset. its a goldmine and the fish in the pics are considered dinks for this lake.

it just makes me wonder how many of these storm ponds like these are out there. its like bass fishing is in north carolina at a private pond i used to fish. its almost unfair to the bass with how dumb they are. all they know is to eat everything.

There is a few that I know of that are out here. It's just time a place and what you throw, If they see they same thing day in and day out they will more then likely hit it just because. Throw something they haven't seen before (which I have seen you did.........LOL) and they will nail it all day. Bass aren't dumb they just wait on opprotunity for an easy meal give it to them and they will hit you sooner or later.............JMO

it doesnt matter what you use in this lake lol, as long as it doesnt get stuck in the weeds to much it will catch fish here. these bass have nothing to worry about, they sit all day and just grub.

really you guys this place is like bass heaven you dont even have to try to catch them. im going again in the morning.

Looks like a great little area. Congrats on the fish. Have you thought about packing in a rubber raft or float tube?
