Hi Dink, I fished Menantico many years ago during the perch spawn until that fishery dwindled and my trips there tapered off. However, during an August, on a single outing, I caught a 6 1/2 # bass, a pleasant surprise. I don't know about current conditions, but back then the water was super clear. I saw several bass that I was able to sneak up on, so I knew they were there, but never made that many conversions. I absolutely love the beauty of those ponds.
