Ever try Diamond lake Mason?
"Mason121" wrote in message ... Hello, I fish for the largmouth`s here in ILL. Mundelein to be exact. Heavy pressure on the small ponds here. I used to have a favorite lake that I could almost always count on catching a few nice ones. Caught an 8 lb. in that lake once. I kept this lake a secret of course...BTW I release all the fish I catch......one day I went to this so called secret lake and there were 30+ people fishing it and keeping everything. After the lake was fished out and the lake was dead the city posted quidlines for the number and sizes of fish that could be kept. One would think that a lake like that was stocked they would put the signs up first not after. BTW this lake is a lake not controlled by the state. Thinking for other options...........I kept thinking of another lake no one would think there were fish in it. Another BTW is that most of these lakes or ponds are mostly flood catch waters. I found a pond by me that I have never seen anyone fish in. It has a nice water spouting deal in the middle of it. I would call that an aerator. Why would they aerate a lake that has no fish in it. Anyway I took out my fishing pole with a small spinnerbait on it and started catching bass on almost every cast. Must have caught 30+ fish in one hour. The largest about 4 lbs. This lake is about 5 yrs. old. Am sure most of you know of a lake where the fish have never seen a lure. They will hit anything that is thrown in. I am keeping this one secret for my nephews. They are 11 and 9 yrs. old and will love this. Dan. |

I would think that aerated ponds are in locations where people can see you fish, at least that's the way it seems around here. At any rate, keep enjoying it, it sounds great to me. Around here, the only aerated ponds are munincipal septic lagoons. Most commonly stocked with finless browns and Coney Island whitefish. |

"Illinois Fisherman" wrote: Ever try Diamond lake Mason? You bet I have. It`s a good lake for large mouths..lots of quality fish in it. Couple of problems with it though. There is only one public access for shore fishing. That being North shore park. And you can only really fish there in the spring before the weeds choke the shoreline. There is a boat launch, but you have to be a member...$$ plus you have to have a boat. I don`t ![]() I have fished it in a friends boat. Did quite well. How about yourself on Diamond lake? Dan Mason, I fish the lakes in the DuPage Cty forest preserves during lunch. I have been having pretty good luck at Hidden Lake and at Herrick Lake. I got a real pig Friday at noonish. Found a hole and dropped a senko in and pulled it in. pat |
