Whitman's Pond Fishing Report

Took the boat out by myself for the first time (I'm a big boy!) I chose Whitman's Pond because I'm familiar with the ramp and the pond. The aquatic vegetation there is incredibly thick and, despite the weedless prop, I had to stop about a half dozen times to clear weeds from the propeller. I was fishing jig because I wanted to practice. I did get a few hits off a shallow island (one of the "claws" on my craw got swallowed) but I wasn't hooking in to anything. I went to a white Senko and caught three LMB. I had to limp back to the ramp after my prop found some monofilament in the weeds and wrapped itself up. All in all a good day, but I won't be going back to Whitman's until vegetation starts to die out. I also have been trying an experiment....the last three times I've gone to Whitman's I've slow trolled a shallow bomber in green and yellow. I've caught yellow perch in the same place every time. They love that thing! I'll be getting a similar color pattern for ice jigging.

  • Nice report and what Shawn said. If you have pliers,I keep an all in one type thing in my bag, it is quick fix on the water.

  • Keep some pliers with your gear. I ran over my 15# fluro one day while clearing a birdsnest. The prop would barely turn. I unhooked it from the battery, pulled the motor into the boat, unscrewed the prop, pulled out like 10 feet of line and when I put the prop back on it was as good as new.
