Well, below was the result of my fist cast in an AEP pond this year. At 2.5LBs it was also the biggest fish that I was to catch. There was huge variation among the different ponds. I fished over 20 ponds, and about half of those were new to me. Size (water volume), sun exposure, and water clarity determined how active the bass were at any particular pond. We caught a lot of bass (about 20 per day per person), but we did not find any BIG bass. The little bass, if they were hitting at all, would take just about anything that we would throw at them. Senkos, Crankbaits, spinnerbaits were all equally effective. Several in the 2LB range, but none over 2.5LBs. I did loose a nice one (around 4LBs) on a Rattle Trap. As I was bringing it in, it had two bass following. One of which was at LEAST 8LBs. Yea, we were able to see plenty of monsters, but did not bring any to the kayak.
I did a lot of gill fishing, and it was fast a furious as always. Once again, nothing BIG, but plenty of numbers.
I REALLY did not want to leave, as Im sure the action will only get hotter in the next few days.
