It's one of my favorites and it gets a lot less pressure these days than it did when there was an active launch there years ago. ? 1 Quote
BigAngus752 Posted December 24, 2018 Posted December 24, 2018 Recently got permission to fish a small pond in an expensive subdivision less than 2 minutes from my house. Today I went to the sweet spot on the west side where I caught a fish last weekend. I threw a Ned Rig with 1/2 of a coppertreuse Zinker Z on it. These three fish represent the first three casts I made. I only made those three casts and then I went home. I didn't want to burn it out. I'm bringing my teenage son back tomorrow so he can have a good fishing experience. 11 Quote

Used to do "amazing" especially in spring on a Dry Creek tube called Old Ugly out there. Tight Lines 1 Quote
The Bassman Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Got out for a bit before Christmas Eve get together. We got down in the mid 20's the night before so I couldn't get a line in the water until after 2:00 because of ice. Caught 4 including this nice one on coppertreuse TRD. I'm finding that this cold water fishing is more predictable than many other times. Just wish the fish could fight harder. Can't have everything I guess. 15 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted December 25, 2018 Global Moderator Posted December 25, 2018 WE got lots of Christmas Day bass and a few crappie. Was after white bass but largemouth and smallmouth seemed to have moved in on them. 11 Quote
NittyGrittyBoy Posted December 26, 2018 Posted December 26, 2018 Water temp was 55° and wind was howling, caught 27 overall, my dad smoked me on rapala jerkbait. But DT6 Demon won me big bass. Just a 10 acre pond full of stumps. 13 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted December 27, 2018 Global Moderator Posted December 27, 2018 Got a new vaccuum sealer for Christmas , hoping to try it out with a bunch of white bass that I threw on ice yesterday. Those pesky smallies kept getting in the way too........... 11 Quote
Big Rick Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 Got to go for a few hours yesterday with my oldest son. We kept 12 of the smaller ones for a fish fry Friday to celebrate my baby boys birthday. Biggest fish is 7 pounds even and next is 5 pounds even. Now we got flash flood, tornado, and severe weather watches for the next 24-48 hours. Glad we got to go yesterday! 19 Quote
Dirtyeggroll Posted December 27, 2018 Posted December 27, 2018 The lake near my house is being drained. All of the fish are at the back of the dam trying to get back into the lake. I took advantage and caught a few of them. We had about a week of temps greater than 40 degrees to thaw the water so I am thankful to get a break in what would normally be a long brutal cold and barren winter. This was the nicest one at 5.29. Caught several just under 5. 10 Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted December 28, 2018 Super User Posted December 28, 2018 Got out again today for a few hours . Decided to take my worm boxes only. I wanted to fish the east side of the lake and tried but it was too windy. Did get a fish off a tree in the water. Got down south to some calmer water and picked up another fish. Both fish on the red shad culprit. Lost a nice fish and they quit for an hour or so. Changed to the watermelon red / chartruese tail trick worm. Finally picked up 2 nice fish on consecutive casts. The one pictured is the smaller of the two - That pic was even blurrier than this one. Not a banner day, but better than yesterdays attempt at jerkbait fishing. 11 Quote

Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted December 29, 2018 Global Moderator Posted December 29, 2018 Today I Only caught one from 1-5:30 or so but got 3 right before dark. 11 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted December 30, 2018 Global Moderator Posted December 30, 2018 Got another good one! Just over 21”, we had a few 18” mixed in as well 17 Quote
The Bassman Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 December fishing just keeps getting better. Caught ten this afternoon including four about this size. All came on a shortened Z-Man Hula Stikz ned rigged. Looks like we might keep cheating winter here in Indiana. 14 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted December 31, 2018 Super User Posted December 31, 2018 Not many places you can do this, but I went to a specific lake with the intention of trying. Pulled it off! 18 Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted January 1, 2019 Super User Posted January 1, 2019 Today is the anniversary of my PB , caught many years ago. Decided to fish longer than normal, and fish " Old School " large plastic worms like the jelly worm I caught the PB on. I still have a box of them from the 70s and 80s. Before I left I cast a couple times at the nieghbors dock and got the first fish pictured. Caught it on a late 70s , early 80s vintage gold flake paddle tail worm. Caught 1 more on it later. Went to the island to get some shade and got another on a black with blue tail curly tailed worm. I stayed with various 10 inch worms, and caught another on the red shad culprit. Very slow bite, almost slick calm conditions . Fished very slow to get them . It was starting to get dark and I de cided to fish a little of the east shoreline going home. I had rooted around and found a 5 inch alabama craw yum dinger. Nothing for a long time, then finally got this 4 pound 15 oz fish. ( last pic ) On the lean side at 23 inch. Not the PB I was huntin', but I'll take it . Happy new year everyone !!! 14 Quote
Super User NorcalBassin Posted January 1, 2019 Super User Posted January 1, 2019 Another above average winter day. Cold and windy but you barely notice when all the fish seem to be 16-18" chunks. 11 Quote
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted January 2, 2019 Global Moderator Posted January 2, 2019 First trip of 2019: Got some white bass for a New Year’s Day meal and my buddy got a nice bonus largemouth. Fried the fish and onions and made a pot of pintos with bacon, trying to imitate hog jawl and black eyed peas for good luck........... didn’t have any jawl on hand......... 8 Quote
The Bassman Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 Caught these two on PB&J half Zinker ned after work. We're experiencing a remarkably gentle El Nino winter thus far and I'm milking it to the max. 7 Quote
