Fishing. It's great. any other goEMAW anglers out there?

What's your "go to" bass lure ben ji?  I like a black & blue jig-n-pig or a Texas rigged tube if it's weedy.

My "Go to" lure is a 4 inch grub on a 1/8oz jig head. Will sometime's mix it up with a jig n pig or a roadrunner, they are all very similiar.

My backup lure is a plastic worm set up with my own variation of the Texas jig that leaves the hook exposed.

Not a big fan of spinners or crank baits, never seem to catch anything on them.

I'm a big fan of H&H double spinners. Catch monster bass down here on them all day. 

Also plastic fluke lures.

Thought about fishing the lake of Lenexa Sunday. Anyone ever fish that area or the smaller surrounding lakes in JO? Was going to fish from the shore for bass/crappie.

I dont normally fish public lakes, find a good looking pond on google maps and just walk up to it and start fishing.

Great way to get shot by some crazy farmer.

Pro tip- Dont go on crazy farmers land. Look on the edges of suburbia and there are pockets of land that got skipped over in development, alot of those pockets have farm ponds on them.

Pro Tip #2- Look at 435 and 69 highway on google maps. See the pond southwest of the interchange? These are the places I'm talking about. I fished it once in high school and caught a couple fish, will probably check it out again this weekend.

Thanks!

Any other Pro Tips would be greatly appreciated.

Pro-Tip: I know A LOT of farmers. I don't know one that would shoot you for fishing in his pond. If he has NO FISHING signs hung up, he might be pissed at you, but if you are just out there by yourself, he isn't going to shoot you for having a line thrown in the water. He will probably come up and talk to you to make certain you are legit. Have Lady with you, farmers love the crap out of dogs.

Man, I really wish the phone on my camera was working yesterday when I went down to the KS River underneath the 435 bridge. You guys would be amazed at the crazy asians down there.

I counted 8 different people standing in the middle of the river with throw nets catching fish, even a couple standing on top of the weir/waterfall throwing nets belows. The males would net a bunch of fish, bring them over to the shore where the female's/kids would throw them straight on the fire, no cleaning or anything.

Then in about 5 minutes they would pull the whole fish off the flames and eat it with their hands.

Pretty sure it's illegal to net sportfish.

i like the google maps suggestion.  i'm going to google map some fishing spots for ben ji and post them here.

    A few years back I was driving by the Manhattan water treatment plant and saw some "Crazy Asians" with poles in hand heading to the sludge ponds across the highway

This one has some big fish in it.  Caught several over 4 pounds and one that went 7.  This was maybe 5 years ago, though.  Also now the guy is a dick and won't let me fish there.

I don't know any farmers who would actually shoot you for fishing on their property, but I know plenty who would greet you with a shotgun. It's usually pretty easy to just get permission. Driving your vehicle onto somebody else's property to go fishing without permission is a dick move.

[ben ji]

Pro Tip- This pond used to be a farm pond and has bass/catfish in it. Back in my younger days I would hop the fence and fish in the 2 ponds to the west, caught a 5lb'er in the big pond but now I am too old to be jumping fences to catch fish.

Both of those ponds appear to be public. Worst thing that could happen is the owner shows up and is all like "Hey, what are you doing fishing my pond" then you are all like "O I'm sorry sir, i thought this was public/I've been fishing here since I was a kid" then he is all like "Well its my land, you need to go" then you are all like "Sure thing" and go to the next pond.

have fished both of those in your link.

i'd recommendo these two (one is top left*, one is bottom right), haven't fished bottom right but top left is a pond that legends are made of.

This one has wipers in it!
