Fishing Water

Finally broke the skunk at Smithville Lake. 

High pressured lake managed to pull out a healthy 3lb bass. Got him on the craw as soon as it hit the water.

So I started fishing heavy lily pads the past couple of days and finally pulled this little chunk out the water. Beautiful healthy fish. What do you guys like to throw into the pads? Comment below and I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Some small ones from Jersey. New spot looks promising.

After 4 years of begging a buddy of mine he brought me to a secret farm pond. Even though I only caught 4 fish it was well worth it. Not the actual location but it is nearby.

Another giant. Wish my scale batteries didn’t die.
Keitech underspin.

Add some free time at lunch ended up catching this beast. Didn't have my scale but I'll say roughly 4.5lbs. Definitely the biggest I've seen out of this little lake. Caught on my smallest 1/8 chatter bait with my smallest 3inch paddle tail lol

you're probably gonna get snagged, but fishing pads is the best bet

Nice lake if you fish hard

Great pond, and there is a park nearby for little kids.

Great place for fishing and little kids

it's usually hit or miss here, but they are biting it's a good day.

not a bad spot

Very Pressurized near all of the piers. Hit or miss fishing unless you are taking kids with worms.

So So

Place looks good and is easily accessible but doesn’t offer that many species and is constantly under heavy fishing pressure.

Overfished

It’s good fishing here but if you want more activity you have to go on a hot day after it rains. Also fish in the banks by the long bridge
Use a jerk bait for smallmouth.
