Visited non-fishing friends who live on Mono Pond (they golf). Launched the kayak at 7:30 am and fished till 12:30. Threw a Buzzbait and got two pickerel right away. Switched to a weightless fluke and caught a couple nice crappie. Went over to the thick lily pads and dragged a frog imitation over, around and between the cover without a sniff. Tried a senko, no good. Paddled out to more open water and got more pickerel on the fluke. But NO bass.
Two winters ago, there was a fish-kill that had many big LMB found along the edge at ice-out. I was hoping it wouldn't be devastating, but apparently I was wrong. I used to be able to catch a good mix of large and small LMB, now nothing. Too bad, it's great looking bass habitat. |

That disappointing, but at least you caught something. Are you talking about mondo pond in Milford?

| Nope. Mono pond in Columbia near Hebron. I only go there a couple times a year. It's around 100 acres and has a public launch. Gas motors are even allowed, but it's very shallow. |

Oh ok, cause there's a lake called mondo pond on Milford. But 100 acres is a petty good size lake, maybe they didn't stock as many bass this year.

spawning and post spawn bass can be tough, I'm sure theres still some good ones hiding in there  |
