Super User Senko lover Posted May 19, 2015 Super User Posted May 19, 2015 My boss took me out today on a very private, stocked pond that his Grandfather is part of a club on. We had a johnboat, and started beating the banks. I caught 4 on a wacky rigged senko. We then moved to an area FULL of lily pads. The entire time on the pond, you could hear bass blowing up in the middle of the lily pad sea. It was like a BamaBass "Topwater Strikes" vid with just the sound. It was the first time I'd ever gotten on a good lily pad bite. I caught 8 or 9 hopping a fluke over the pads, and my boss caught 3 or 4. I didn't have my frog with me, although I did catch one on a buzzbait. I lost count of the exact number I caught, but they were amazingly hard, violent strikes and for the 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 pound size, they fought like monsters. It was a blast. He said that the fishing was really, really slow for that pond. He told me if you get on a good bite there, you can not only catch 25+ fish, they are usually better fish over 2 1/2 and they almost always catch one over 4 pounds. On any other pond, I wouldn't believe him, but I totally do. I must have seen over 100 bass jump out over the lily pads chasing something down. Couldn't believe it. I can't wait to get back there! 3 Quote

Super User HoosierHawgs Posted May 19, 2015 Super User Posted May 19, 2015 That's one hell of boss! Mine is a baseball fanatic so I don't get to talk much fishing at work... Say, where are you working? 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted May 19, 2015 Author Super User Posted May 19, 2015 I know, he's the awesomest guy ever. I work in landscaping/mowing. We pass ponds all the time on the way to work, not to mention Falls Lake, and we both look at them. It's not unusual to hear the following comments in the work truck. "There's one breaking out there." "Dang, topwater would slay them on that pond." "Water's a little muddy since the rain hit." Yeah, I have it pretty good 1 Quote

Didn't know you were in NC also. Never fished up that way, but I hear that lake is sah-weet!! Quote

I have a bad track record of bank fishing there. Still haven't caught anything. I have a former FLW co-angler in my church who fishes tourneys there all the time. He has said he'll take me out somtime, which would be really cool. In the prespawn, it takes over 30 pounds to win an tournament on Falls! Quote
