KnewBee Posted January 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 drop in temp (43) and drop in water level, but they were biting. Caught 8 bass in an hour. Mostly dinks in the 12 inch range. Got my second "tagged" bass (1 lb 8) and biggest was a 1 lb 13. Weird lil fatty that may have had too much pie over the holidays and a super aggressive little dink that bit off more than he could chew! Lost a big Chain Pick as I tried to lip grip him. bennie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdeppen Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Thanks for starting the thread KB, nice looking fish! I was fortunate to catch a large trout in the morning of New Years Day! spamming bot, stripefromshore, snag777 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt7082 Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Found a few yesterday. A couple of bass in the 2lb range, and one that went 4lbs. Took my wife with me and she put a beating on a couple of enormous pickerel. We had a great day chucking crankbaits around in the unseasonably, but pleasantly warm temps! spamming bot, hobobob, PatFin401 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnewBee Posted January 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Matt, sweet! love them big Picks, it is that time of year. Is that the Cypress forest at Prince? Either way, looks like an awesome spot, kind of like Stumpy. Congrats! Matt7082 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want, go to Northwest River Park. It's the only place east of the mountains that stocks trout. Trout stamp is $23, I think? No Pups being reported. Some small specks, but been a dreadful year for Puppy drum, at least in Rudee. Matt7082 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, looks like an awesome spot, kind of like Stumpy. Congrats! Harwood's Mill, Yorktown. It's a fantastic little lake! It is much like Stumpy, but about half the size, and a little bit deeper; average depth is 4'-8'. But it gets extremely warm in the summer, and the pond weed and duck weed completely lock it up. By mid August or early September, you usually can't even bring a kayak in there. But it starts receding by the end of October. spamming bot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EchoSierra Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) I live in the northeast (Massachusetts) and it's currently pretty cold here. I know that fish slow down for the winter, but would I be wasting my time trying to fish a pond while it's ~40 degrees out (air temp, not sure about water)? There's a pond behind the building at work and I was wondering if it would be worthwhile to try fishing it in the winter. I've read reports of Largemouths, Bluegills, and catfish in that pond. I'd probably want to target the largemouths or the catfish. I'll be fishing from shore. Edited January 5, 2019 by EchoSierra john faria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseycat9 Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 First trip out since my last report on here back in November I think it was. I got 2 of this exact size and one that was in tge high teens to 20lb range and one dink, i lack pictures of the other two nicer fish cause they came off when I was trying to lip them but I had them in my hands enough for me to say I caught it lol. But all in all it was a really nice to see back to back to back 10+lb fish after the dismal last couple years where a 10lb fish would have been the talk of the bait shop and it shows we are on the rebound. spamming bot, riverrunner, stripefromshore and 2 others 5 My name is Terry and I am a fisherman!
