We went to the slip saturday and caught several blue gills!

I need to head out and do some pond hopping soon!

FIshed this am did good caught 4 missed 3 and one of the misses took a nice top water frog with him....

If it stops raining a little bit I might head out to the honey hole,if not back to the slip!

Do you baitfish at the slip? Ever bass fish there?

bowie agian this am caught 3 one got off at the boat...white buzz bait

Went out last Night to catch some food for my sons bass!
went ot bowie and we saw a lot of blue gills still bedding in front of the cement drain,had lots of fun teasing them with small jigs!.also caught 3 small bass in the process. I wish the Moss was not as thick!

hit bowie last sat caught 1 and a buddy caught one. Sunday we fished a little creek that runs through arlington and caught 5

I'm gonna have to make it out to this bowie pond sometime. It's not a pond but has anyone fished the creek that runs through Cravens Park. I can walk out my back yard and fish it but just haven't done it yet.

Me and my son walk that creek from collins to new york and there are several nice deep holes in there.we follow the trail and walk in and survey.

I went out to Bowie this afternoon to take a look around. It was my first time. I've lived in Arlington all my life and did not know about this place. Is there any other access other than the road/path on the North end at the cement pipe? It looked like that small area is THE ONLY so called Bank Fishing. I don't have any type of water craft. I was thinking this would be a great float tube fishing place (which I have never done either)

You can access it on the other end of the pond also.. I have seen people walk around the whoel pond and fish it before..Wouldnt be to good for a tube not deep enough on the north half...but great in a yak..........

Hmmm. The other end? From what street? Walk around the whole pond? I never saw a break anywhere in that thicket. Is it just holding more water from all the rain? I really wouldn't want to trudge through any of that brush this summer. Mayyyybeeee, in winter.

OR....

I'm too old and soft for this pond fishin !!!!

Off of green oaks just past sherry street is a street (not sure the name) its a culdasack and there is a place to get to the water. Ive never walked the pond but i have seen it done...

Thanks for all your help. I found the south entrance and there is some bank area on that end. Now all I have to do is figure out how to negotiate in all the moss! Ah, such is life ;-)

Gonna head out this evening to see where the toads are at?
has anybody had any luck recently?
