Is the bite still on? I'm hoping to get down to Audubon this coming week and give a farm pond a try. Hopefully get into some nice sized blue gills and some big bass!

Bluegill could be caught all day on nightcrawlers. Bass were hammering "The Worm" (black with yellow tail). Two bass over 20", both released. Only 1 crappie was landed. All-in-all a nice day out on the pond. A bit windy, but it was great to get out fishing again!

i fished a local pond yesturday morning. no crappies, but did have good luck on some nice gils. the trick to getting them was to fish something( jig,beetlespin, or hook with a wax worm) just above the submerged weeds .( these were in 7 ft. of water)
