dougie511 Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Champaign county bassmasters oh I haven't even heard of that one yet! Quote
dougie511 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 wow lol this has really helped me out haha. I just moved to champaign from CA and ive been strictly going to homer and sometimes clinton. Btw does anybody know if there are public ponds here? I will have to disagree on Homer being a hit and miss though haha i havent been skunked yet just last week i pulled out a 7.1lber on a pit boss i may try to get a picture up of her later. theres a couple public ponds i forgot to answer to this one! There is one on windsor road where windsor and niel meet head east and its right after the under pass on the south side which would be the right side of the road but i have never fished it! that is public and then there is another one called colbert park that ive seen bass pulled out of or at least pics and i think they have a lot of crappie there but im not 100% sure on that! Theres also another one in north champaign but idk much about it at all lol Quote
bwell Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 There are several but I don't know how good they are because I haven't fished them. Like Dougie said there is one on Windsor on the south corner of Windsor and 1st street. There is also another one on Brandley across the street from the soccer fields at Parkland (just west of Mattis ave.). If you keep going North on Mattis till you hit Olympian Dr. take a left at the light, there is a undeveloped subdivision that has several ponds on it. There is also Mattis Lake, its off of Prospect on Devonshire Dr. 1 Quote

Jon G Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 have you ever fished the olympia dr one my mom works out there and ive seen quite a few different ponds out there in the area! also subdivision ponds are good spots to try to I have looked at the pond in the Yankee Ridge subdivision and it looked pretty well the only problem is there is tons of no tresspasing signs there and i have no idea who to ask permission to fish it. The only pond i have really found was Crystal "Lake" but all the fish there are tiny and besides it is not the safest spot to be in haha 1 Quote
bwell Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I fished it once but not for very long with no luck... Quote

There is also Mattis Lake, its off of Prospect on Devonshire Dr. So I went to the one off on windsor road today. Just to make sure they are two little ponds next to some apartments and what i think is a bank right? I saw a larger pond on the way there but it looked like it was private. When i went to these two little ponds i saw 2 bass but i could not get a bite for the life of me so i was wondering what do you guys use there because i tried everuthing from plastics, squarebills, rattletraps, everytpe of jig, and spinnerbaits without luck.

bwell Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Hm... not sure where you were lol. The one off Windsor is on the corner of Windsor and 1st street to your south. It's a single pond that has parking off of 1st street. Generally if you can see the bass they can see you and they wont bite. The best thing to do is fish another spot for about 30 minutes and then come back about 20 yards from where you saw them and cast to the spot, make sure they dont see you. Quote
