Love this spot for bluegill fishing. Always hungry bluegill by the docks. And they allow you to take fish, and clean them right there on the dock! (As long as you clean up after yourself) There are rumored to be BIG bass in the bigger pond there. An older gentlemen told me to use some green pumpkin and chartreuse trick worms. But I’ve never been back by.
Love this spot. It’s a series of 4 pond in a very nice neighborhood in southern Madison. Always getting “nice catch!!” And “i didn’t even know we had fish in here!” There are small-smallmedium bass in here. Lotssss of them. But i really worry that they are underweight. Many of them have these bucket mouths but barely any meat on them. Nevertheless a great, quiet pond. Wouldn’t recommend bringing a friend because of how small it is.
