 |
|
So I regularly catch a couple bass in Wintergreen.
I have plans to fish tomorrow. My choice of location. Should I stick with Wintergreen (Close, Reliable...) or risk it and go to a new location (Miller's Pond in Durham) and see what happens.
We will be shore fishing with artificial bait only. Most likely senkos, maybe a spinnerbait or rapala minnow-rap. I'd like to go for bass.
Thoughts? |

| If you go to Millers, make sure you are using light line as the lake is crystal clear. The shoreline access is sparse, but there be some monsta's in there. |

The water is definitely crystal clear in Miller's Pond, but all that I saw in it when I went there last Fall were tiny little yellow perch. I'm leaning toward fishing rivers right now.

jbrown - The water is getting colder. Try some slower and or subtler presentations. Throw some jigs maybe slow roll a spinnerbait. I went out on Friday evening and the spinnerbait bite was on then next day it was much cooler and I had a tough time finding the fish with anything. The one fish I did hit was flipping in the sticks but there was no pattern to that as I tried many other laydowns and didn't get anything. The guys I was with were hitting a few fish slowly retreiving rat-l-traps but that bite died too.
Good luck out there
