Had a little time to do some exploratory fishing today on the eastern section of the green line today. There is a consistently flooded area next to the penitentiary that I fished. Couple little bites, nothing caught. I did see a good size gar cruising along. I moved further done and found a bike trail that led me to the wolf. I fished a deep diving crank bait under the pedestrian bridge with no luck. I think next time some bigger poles with cut bait might be a better approach. Anyone ever fished here? How bout the prison ponds?

Not bass related...but went fishing on a nice weekend at the spring river in NEA. caught about 10 rainbows in 3 hours using trout magnet. This was my best. 15 incher. Figured yall would appreciate. Oh..and released alive back from where she came.

Hey everyone, Stumbled across this post from a Google search and wanted to add my 2 cents in to help out and get a few tips. I've been fishing in memphis for a few years now (native Memphian) and here is some of my experiences. Fished behind chickfila pond a couple days ago-had one small bass fishing that retaining wall with a 1/8 white spinner bait Fished the Audubon park pond (backs up to botanic gardens) about a week ago. Couple of tentative hits but no fish. I've fished this pond a lot, never really catch much but the bass/crappie I've pulled out have all been big. Anyone else ever fished here before? There's a pond in memphis (near Bartlett) off shelby oaks drive (behind baymont inn) that I fished once and caught a few. Used to live in Cordova-fished country squire apartments several times with little luck. Another apartment lake just north of wood chase dr and gtown pkway and had nothing. There is a couple of ponds off Macon in the woodland hills subdivision in Cordova (near Macon hall elem) that are not too bad. Pulled lots of small fish out there My wife and I recently bought a house in east memphis, so I'm open to suggestions to fish around here. Great threat btw!
