Turtle Pond Fishing Report

4.8 Rating based on 5 Reviews

Giant Crazy Largemouth Bass!

I went to Turtle Pond once again to nightfish to avoid the yuppies that illegally swim here. I was laying on my backpack and gazing up at the stars and before you know it I dozed off. I woke up a little after 4am shocked. I decided to do some fishing. I most likely would have caught four bass but two of the bass were so huge they ripped my lures off. I think I might have had loose knots which I am now very careful to check because Rapala lures aren't cheap. In the end I had two. One small and one decent size one about 14 inches give or take. Lucky I put on my deep woods repellant that night or I would have been mosquito chow.

  • Hows the bass fishing there?

  • I love fishing there some nice slabs come out of that place.

  • 5 stars for going, but dozing off and waking up later sounds potentially scary. Hopefully you had company with you to watch over you?

  • Good job.
    This is a tough place to fish. I only saw two areas to fish here docks on either side. Is there any other fishing spots?
