I recently took a new job heading up and MS4 stormwater inspection program. After years being behind a desk in the tech industry this is a huge change. Among other things I get to spend time out in the field and in our area of SC retention ponds are a major component of stormwater management.

 

In our county alone there are THOUSANDS of retention ponds and the older ones all potentially hold bass. But right now most of these are virtually inaccessible because of the vegetation that has grown along the banks. The good news is that in order to be in compliance land owners need to make these ponds at least partly accessible. My hope is that since there has been almost no fishing pressure in these ponds that when their opened up there will be some great fishing - and maybe even some big lunkers that have never seen a lure before.

 

For me, the even better news is that I'm heading up the nationwide program and while there won't be a lot of field work for me, the potential is there to get in a few hours of fishing now and then.

Do you need assistance?

We actually have offices nationwide and will be rolling out this program to those locations in six months. We'll be hiting then.
