Fall at the Local City Pond... Suggestions?
I shore fish regularly at a local park, which is conveniently located just
ten minutes away from my home, and have had some very nice success there. This year alone, I have nabbed (3) 4lbers, countless 3lbers, and one beautiful 4lb. smallmouth bass; all on various colors and lengths of the Senko. That's the odd (if you can call it that) thing about this pond, all the fish I seem to catch there are normally of the larger variety. Well, it seems Fall is not a good time of year for this lake, as the bite has virtually shut off. I have been skunked the last three times I have been there. The pond is about 30 acres in size, with very sparse vegatation in the shallows and a sandy sloping drop-off that surrounds it in entirety. It is decidely stained green with depths slanting gradually to 8 feet, then steeply to about 15 or 20. As a popular park, it also receives tremendous pressure from locals who strangely feel safe eating bass that live in a pond with storm sewer drainage in it's west end, and golf course runoff in the north. Does anybody have any suggestions on coaxing one or more of the beauties that inhabit this lake, to make one last run before the upcoming Michigan winter? Thanks! _______ Dickie |

Fall at the Local City Pond... Suggestions?
How far out to the 8-15' break?......if it's within casting distance,
perhaps a float&fly type rig may draw some attention....depending on the forage, try a tube jig suspended under a slip bobber at 8-10' thrown out past the break.....or how about a slip-bobber/drop-shot rig to hold a finess worm in a horizontal position, if you can envision that? suggested Huck "Dickie Greenleaf" wrote in message ...
