Bass Are Biting Like Crazy @ Powdermill Pond in Bennington. I went out this evening and nailed two nice Large Mouth and a little one in my Fishing Kayak. One weighed 3.7 Lbs and the other weighed 4.9 Lbs. The small one I did not take the time to weigh out, he probably went about a pound and a half. I threw them all back, they deserve some more time in the water. I hit the Pond @ 6:20 Pm and fished till 8:20 Pm. They started feeding on the top as I hit the water and the jumped persisted for those two hours. The only reason I left was because I was having trouble spotting my Hula Popper even though the moon is full. All three were caught on a Hula Popper Green and Black skirt. Biggest Catch from Powder Mill was a whopping 7.3 Lb LargeMouth. I almost skipped this Pond way back because people were telling me they only were catching 1-3 pounders, their just not hitting the spots, Fish the Southern end of the Pond, there is a good number of whoppers in there, looking to catch my 10 pounder soon from that area.
Recommended times to hit the Pond- 530 AM-8:30 AM / 5:00 PM- 9:00 PM. Afternoon times are hit and miss, I tend to stick near the banks in this pond, but you got to use a weedless Texas rig because there are a lot of weeds throughout the pond and you need some weight to get your plastics to the bottom.
Greg Lake: I fished Greg Lake two days ago from 4:30-6:30 PM. Did not have much luck, caught one bass about a pound or so, and only one other strike. I switched from 3 colors of Senko worms, to a Strike King Rodent, to a crayfish, nothing was really interested. I am going to hit Gregg Lake tomorrow morning around 5:45 AM, I will let you know how it goes. I am still trying to get the peak times downs on this lake, the Bass have a mind of their own there. Can't really give you a recommended time because I have only fished this lake about a half dozen times. Biggest Catch there for me was a 4 lb Largemouth.
