I was parked next to a nice looking pond finishing up some paperwork and I saw a constant swirl of many many little fish right in front of me. I really didn't think much of it and another guy pulls up next to me and starts throwing some "pond food" into the water and they go wild.

I hop out and start talking to the guy and look down and there are at least 30 bluegill. The water is super clear(for my area) and I can see a lot more fish both ways down the bank. The guy tells me only a few folks fish this pond and most if not all of them catch and release. I figure with all this "bass food" and courteous fishermen there should be some nice bass in here. He confirms this and says he owns the building and I am free to fish if I let my fish go.

I only had an hour or 2 to fish but I caught my first Fat Ika fish(2lbr) and a nice fat 4lb(at least) for my first Wacky rigged Senko. I didn't get any pictures but I'll get some this weekend when I can get out to this pond early AM before it gets so hot.

Nice, keep us updated, and post some pics this weekend.

went back out tonight for a few hours and caught this nice chunk. I should have had my girlfriend hold it instead of me but you can compare it to my rod//reel in the pic.

I'd say a good 4 lbs but I may be way off on guesstimating fish. I bought a 50lb scale but I don't think it is even close on the smaller weights. Going to take it back and get a 15lb digital scale instead.

PS: this was a different pond 100yds away from the other.

Nice one...............................

Very Nice

Is that a spinner bait you caught him on?

That's a buzzbait that got nice and busted up when he hit it.

I went back this morning and caught another 2-2.5 lbr out of the same spot but nothing worth taking a picture of. I was expecting a better trip out. was pretty cool(for florida) a very slight breeze and overcast but the one fish is all i caught and my friend got skunked.

I worked late today and was driving by the pond about 1 hour before sunset today and figured i'd see what I could catch. Pulled a 5lbr, a really fat, short bass. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me since I was in my work van  :'(. Luckily one of the other guys fishing had a scale on him and we got a weight quickly and got this baby back in the water fast.

I almost went through a bag of Color 912 (Green Pumpkin w/Black & Watermelon w/Black Laminate). wacky rigged lots of bites but I missed a bunch. I really need to start using O-Rings.
