Well wind was bad, but not as bad as the snot grass(algae) at the daycare pond. That stuff is nasty. I wont be back!

Jeff

Yea Jeff that stuff is NASTY!!! Normally the cold water kills most of it off but this warm winter has made it worse! So did ya catch anything?

Not a bite, but honestly I didn't give it much of a chance. I was out there MAYBE 20 mins. an the wind was bad and the snot was worse. I dont have much patience for having toclean my bait EVERY cast!

Jeff

PS> Bass are carnivores and dont eat salad!

well I think im going to head out to collierville city hall tomorrow afternoon for a little while. If you or bass n taters want to join me come on out. I plan on getting there bout 2.

Come on out!,

Carlton

I will see what the wife has planned for this afternoon and might see you out there! I get off at 1 so 2 wouldn't be a problem depending on what plans we have! Maybe see you then!

Jeff

went out to the collierville city hall pond this morning.fished for about 3 1/2 hours .only caught 2 fish. about 1lb 1/2 each....i know yall seem to really love that pond..but i havent been so impressed so far...all though i havent fished it in the spring or summer. just today and 2 other days in which i wasnt out there but for about 20 min. any got any pics or stats on the fish yall have caught out there

I know of 2 10lb fish caught out there in the last 2 years. But I am like you, most fish out there are small. I will dig up a post where RW caught an absolute FAT fish one day!

Jeff

Here ya go....a couple slobs from there...

Jeff

wow thats some nice fish! kinda makes you excited about goin back out there!

Went to collierville this afternoon from around 2:30- 5:15 . Met Carlton(gr8outdoorz) and we had a good time chatting away without many bites. I caught 2 dink bass before I had to go. Hopefully gr8 caught the monster after I left.

Jeff

I'm heading out to Collierville in the morning. I will probably be fishing over at johnson park though. Haven't been back to the big lake in a while. Interested to see how its been holding water.

That daycare pond is off shea and houston levee? the road beside the fire station. I will have to try that one out.

Joe

No luck for me in collierville today. Didn't stay much longer after Jeff left. I problaby will be heading to Grove Park tomorrow if I cant find the right connector for my trailer lights in the morning Im sooooo ready to get the boat on the water!!

Some people keep their honey-holes secret, but I have introduced a lot of guys

to mine, be it ponds or places on the Tennessee River. Just remember to remind

anyone you introduce to "our pond" that the only reason we have such a tremendous

resource so close is because we take care of our fish. I probably haven't caught

every big fish in the pond, but I might have at one time or another. Other guys

have an opportunity to catch a trophy because we put every fish back!

amen rw! amen!

Well said RW! Betty was quickly returned safely back to her home as are all of the fish I catch. I always have and always will practice catch & release. I am like you in that I share my honey holes with others because the people I fish with MUST practice C&R and be good stewards of our natural resources. I really appreciate the information about the Germantown City Park ponds as it is always fun to fish new waters. You have my word that the people that fish with me will take very good care of what we fish!

My avatar is from Grove as well, and she still swims with her cousins!!

I'm planning to fish Neshoba (chik fil a) pond one morning next week, any tips on best bait for that pond? Never fished it before and wanted to go prepared.

Planning to fish Collierville Saturday morning. If you are interested in joining me,

I will be at Perkins for breakfast around 5:30.

Saturday morning I caught four bass: one dink, two "keepers" and one 5-6 lbs at Collierville.

Care to elaborate? Call or pm me!

Jeff

what did you catch it on rw

Keitech Swing Impact Fat

Is Grove the lake with a real small parking area on the northeast side, off the Dogwood Creek neighborhood street?

Yes

so i got to fish a private pond a friend got access to on saturday..and i used a new plastic i havent ever used ..and that was the zoom white ice trick worm..MAN O MAN! that was a awesome worm! great action!

fished the day care pond today at dusk...no bites on a crawfish plastic or crankbait (spin setup)....no bites on a hopper dropper (fly setup)...but then right about dark, i tied on a big ole frog popper on the fly rod....no joke, first cast, that thing hit the water and got swallowed at the exact same time!!!! nice nice bass, took my drag out hard and went to the middle of the pond....and then it spit the hook! fished another 20 minutes with no action... but for first time there, it was a good 45 minutes of fishing, im gonna have to give that place a second shot!!!!!
