small white spinnerbaits work well for bass.

ccbal...i was using a fluke with a 1/2 oz. painted jighead.Talk about luck.I be that fish got that big munching on baby duckys

Your a good man for releasing that big boy back. Not many people would.

I would have had that damn thing mounted. lol

I am headed to Samuel Farms in the morning. (9am)

Oh yeah another thing about Samuel Farm... there is a lot of moss in the water the just catches on everything you cast. I am constantly cleaning off my lures. Any suggestions?

I'm Thinking about heading out to Samuell farm never been there so i am gonna try to give it a shot so is it still free to get in

still free the only thing is you must sign in when you arrive. That's all. You must have a license or at least they would prefer that you did.

The catch limits are enforced.

There is an event going on today so I stayed away.

Yeah i never made out out there i just went to Hubbard and did some bank fishing

Went back to my fishing pond near my house. caught three cats all were filled with eggs so I placed them back.

There is a pond somewhat hidden at the Bruton Soccer complex. (actually two ponds) I am going to try and hit those today.

If your coming from the east off of Cartwright, turn right then a left on Riggs Circle and follow around bend and you should run into pond. Not sure on parking yet.

call me crazy but i cant stand fishing places that have moss like that !

I just got back from fishing at the ponds behind the soccer complex.

There are no catfish but there are bass (nice size). The moss is a factor but you can move it with a tree limb or a rake. There is a bad thing though and that are the turtles! These damn things are bait robbing sons of b!tche5. Four time they took my worms and livers.

Parking is a bitch. The best thing I can suggest is to park at the soccer complex and jump the river to get to the pond. I'll hit it again tomorrow and this time bring a rake to move the moss. lol

Alright, not much chatter lately. Must be a lot of fishing and not much catching. Today I will be trying a new spot off of Northwest Hwy between Oats and 30. Don't know anything about it. I will let you know. If no luck there I will head to Samuel Farm. Hopefully I will have a good fish story later.

I checked out the spot on Northwest Hwy. The water didn't seem clean enough to fish and the mosquitos were out of control, so I left and fished the Palos Verdes Park. Had real good luck there. Caught 2 catfish, 1 perch, and a LMB in about an hour and a half. I also hit Samuel Farm at 4pm and fished till 5. Didn't even get a nible. Good Day!

Is nobody fishin in Mesquite anymore? I was just out at Palos Verdes Lake Park again on Tuesday evening between 6 and 7 and landed this nice LMB. A real nice sized one at that. I was out this past Sunday as well and saw a guy pull out the biggest catfish I've ever seen come out of that body of water. There are some big ones in there. Just gatta go get'em. Well, I hope to see some more chatter on this forum.

Well, I took my daughter fishing at the Palos Verdes Park yesterday and she pulled an awesome LMB out of there. Was a beauty! Would love to hear more chatter about people fishing these Mesquite ponds.
