i have been wondering weather to try my luck at the pond at charter colony and Waterford was wondering if anyone one br has ever fished it if so any tips and any good  size lmb in the pond ?

Go for it.

Give it a try and let us know what happened.

Lots of apartment and office complex ponds all around the area.

When you get your ADC map of the area you will see them.

Fish 'em till you get run off!!!!  ;D   ;D   ;D

i went early this morning to this pond 1st cast to my 3rd cast all caught a large mouth bass was crazy they were all from .5-1.5 but was still fun with top water baits had to go to work not much to tell wanna try again soon  5 lmb two crappie less than 1pound

Cool.  What did you catch them on?

[Tallent88]

  3/8 boogie bait  purple and silver

[Tallent88]

sorry i was confused i started with a top water frog caught the three it slowed down switched to the boogie bait caught two over a pound  then once that slowed up i threw to a brush pile like 2 or 3 foot deep with yellow and white  jig and caught the crappie pretty close together  fishing makes me crazy i went yesterday to the beaver dam pond over at Pocahontas went to the far side where there is almost not place to cast there was so much tall grass and pads i found a little creek type thing but it seemed to be about 10 foot  deep in the middle perfect it was hot but i would throw the top water frog on the pads and the bass would literally come blasting through or when it fell off they would nail it i must have missed 6 bass  in one spot i felt like i set the hook good each time and they would get to jumping and bam gone frustrating ! still  caught about 5  ;D

Told you about the top water at pochohontas! and dont set the hook so fast on frogs. wait till you feel the weight of the fish to set the hook.

haha yeah i figured out why the bass where spitting it out they weren't bass at all they were pickerel snatching it not having it good i try to set the hook and would jerk out out of there mouth ! i lost 5 whit yum worms today by letting them taking it soon as they did the mono went snap with a little tug finally i snagged one and it was the pickerel haha caught a toad out there today at beaver lake i didnt my buddy did a little four pound lmb  i nailed one bigger than that he got wrapped around a stump and got off so sad  > ultra light is tough to keep them from going where they want  but there is always next time i found some really good spots down there !

The waterford ponds have no fishing signs at them, as I found out today.

[Tallent88]

the small pond out in front i did happen to see one small sign that said no fishing but i didnt see any on the big pond behind the buisness office and there where others there fishing did you see any on the big pond ?

[racer894]

I did not see one at the big pond. I saw where someone had been fishin iit at the dam though because they left their trash (nightcrawler containers, hook packages, 2 bottles, and an empty cigg pack). People like that are what ruin it for others.

[Tallent88]

i know i agree its ridiculous catching brim with worms or something like that haha come on pick up your stuff guys ! :-/

[jerkw8nonajerk01]

My favorite apt pond is the one on nuckols between strayer and addison....catch good fish there all the time...wellsley, innsbrook in the back..they are all pretty shallow though so the heat doesn't help

[Reel_Kaotic]
