19 in 40 min

These two weeks off just went way too fast, I don’t know where the time went. Unfortunately my little girl didn’t want to fish, but I did make it to the pond a few times myself.

I didn’t get much time today, but made the short trek this afternoon. The action was pretty much nonstop, the last 10 minutes things slowed down.

We had winds in the low 20s today, so I just casted the TM about eight feet from shore and let the wind move it like a river current.

I was immediately greeted by a small LMB, followed by various panfish.

Perhaps my little girl will want to take the Paw Patrol rod out tomorrow.

That kind of numbers would keep a fella hopping

Nice outing. I like high numbers. Reminds me of a mayfly hatch I got in on once.

Nice catch and thanks for the ride along!

Not quite that extravagant, just what they call a “premium lot” that has a small fee over a regular house here in a large HOA. I’m blessed to have three ponds within a 10 minute walk, and two more that I haven’t tried yet. Over 1000 homes has a few advantages, mainly that a small HOA fee goes aa longway when you have this many rresidents This is one of the smaller pans, but I’ve had some of my best luck here there.

We have had about 6 inches of rain over the last few days, I went back to see evening hoping to catch an hour before sunset. It started to rain within a few minutes, but I did catch eight fishing within 15 minutesAttachment 404285.

I usually stand in the spillway, but you can see how high the water has risen. About 6 feet out near the rocks is the money spot.

One guy of size and one with some beauty as illustrated by the attached pictures.

Love this new ULW setup, although I’m going to seek a longer rod. I’m also a big fan of the Trout Magnet float that I just switched to, I swear it enhances the experience. Attachment 404284Attachment 404286Attachment 404287

Seems there are more and more of these ponds in newer developments and many hold some nice fish. Sounds like you are in a good location!

Pond Hoppin' is a great way to spend an afternoon!

Got another 40 minutes in last night, had to run some errands so I threw a rod in my truck. The 10 minutes of not having to walk to the pond was critical such a short timeframe.

Caught about 15, one of them was somewhat sizable.

I caught one that I thought was a goldfish it was such a pure orange. Unfortunately I dropped it as I was getting my phone

Been a great couple of weeksAttachment 404488Attachment 404490Attachment 404489

The ponds are actually retention ponds used to control storm water runoff during heavy rain periods.
Every large development is required to have them, including shopping centers etc.
Water quality is as a rule monitored and maintained by professionals same as the public area landscaping is.
Some of the developers get a bit creative by advertising water front lots, which they actually are.
Not uncommon for gators to find their way into those ponds and munch on the pets of the homeowners, or even the homeowner if not carefull.
But they soon become eliminated.
Some are fenced in and off limits to anglers, but you can often see lots of beds as you drive past some of them if your tuned in.
Just one of the many good opportunities Florida has to offer shore bound anglers.

I forgot what YouTube video it was I saw months ago 2 friends were targeting “snakeheads”-an invasive Asian species of very aggressive predator fish, after a major storms in Florida flooding most neighborhood streets therefore connecting various lakes and habitats. When water receded, they found these fishes in their local community ponds and golf course ponds as well. So I’m not surprised alligators and what not would also be found after these floods happened.
