I saw Wacky's trout pics on FB and decided, hell, its to early to quit fishing for the year!!!

Found a hidden gem in the KC area, right around I-35 and 87th street. It appears to be some sort of business park pond but WOW was it loaded with fish or what!



First stop was the biggest pond at the bottom of the waterfalls. I caught maybe 7-8 bass but nothing over 1lb.



 I did how ever find a Crappie hole and pulled out 5 of these guys in like 10 minutes.




Next stop was the middle pond where I didnt catch crap.

Final stop was the tiny little pond at the top....WOWZERS, wasn't expecting to catch some lunkers like these!







Best part was I used the same jig and worm the ENTIRE day! Wow, thats pretty unusual huh, that worm was torn to shreds.

I've been getting "The Itch" alot lately due to the warm weather. I checked this pond out about 2 weeks ago but it was still frozen solid......luckily for me it was ICE FREE today!  :billdance:

Forgot my phone but I did catch two bass in about 2 hours, one of them was a beautiful 3-4 pound specimen.  :love:

No luck on any crappie but man, it was great to get out and get my "Fix"

I'm jealous. Did that 3-4 lb-er fight at all, or just reel in as dead weight? And where did you go, generically? Same place as the pics?

Light on the fight, didn't ever jump out of the water. Caught it at the same small pond at the top of the falls.

Recommended lures/ bait for these warm-weather bursts of shore fishing?
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

1/8 oz jighead with a yellow grub thingy.

When its cold like this you basically have to land the bait on their head to catch anything.

made some fish and chips last week out of the ling cod I caught in Alaska last summer. Fish was way too big to fit it all into one meal. And we even had 5 people over for dinner so the meal was huge. :frown:

Benny, you should start crabbing.  Drop the traps on the way to work. Pick them up after work.  Eat like a very fortunate person nightly.  Seems like a no brainer.

I don't think my freezers are big enough to handle the influx of enormous crabs on top of all the giant fish me and my lovely bride still have to consume from our summer trip to Alaska. :frown:

Guyz, the bass are up and moving!!! Went fishing at a local pond last week and saw some bass in the shallows....even though I only caught some tiny lil guys I was super pumped.


ALSO OMG GUESS WHAT?!?!? I discovered 2 old farm ponds that are now my personal domain.

I switched jobs a year ago and the my new job is out on the edge of the city. They bought a fuckton of land and only about half of it is developed, the rest won't be touched for another 5 years or so.....I was scoping out some of this untouched land on google maps and realized there were 2 ponds on it, the old satellite imagery showed a house in the middle of them that has since been demolished.

The only way to access these ponds is through our facility so literally no one else can fish it except people I work with. I went out there on monday to do some ground recon on both ponds....BINGO, caught bass in both!!! OMG AWESOME, my own personal fishing reserve!!!!

There is also a crick that runs through the untouched land where I caught some weird looking baby fish by dangling my grub in the water....My best guess is some sort of bass hybrid due to the shape of the mouth but the mouth was much lower than normal. There is also a faint black stripe going down it.

What kind of fish do you think this is?

What makes that fish the largest minnow and not like, the smallest sport fish?
