July 3rd Pond Bassing
Went to a small local pond with a handful of killies. Had a real good bite while it was raining that stopped once the sun came out. Wound up with 10 bass, mostly 11"ers with one 3lb kicker and 2 crappie. Water is really starting to weed up and the fish are lying low when the sun is out.

Killies are a very over looked freshwater bait, I love 'em !!!

Re: July 3rd Pond Bassing
tautog, you (still) fishing the Moco area? good to hear you're still kickin'
personally looking for some carp waters close to home to see if I can try my hand at 'em. But I don't think they hit killies!

Re: July 3rd Pond Bassing
Yup still in Monmouth. Fishing one of the very first ponds I ever bass fished after a 20 year hiatus there. As for killies, they got the fish out of the grass. Lures were producing one fish days, but the killies got them fired up.

Re: July 3rd Pond Bassing
I didn't know killies would survive in freshwater, that's very interesting.

one of the toughest fish on the planet. 100+F days in a small pond? no problem subfreezing temperatures stuck in a plastic drain tube over winter? no problem direct saltwater to freshwater? no problem back again? no problem

Re: July 3rd Pond Bassing
Plus you can cast and retrieve them at least 10 times before they die on you. They are an important baitfish in a lot of coastal freshwater areas.
