Home Forums Fishing Freshwater More urban pond fishing

I’ve been seeking out close but under cover spots to fish. This big pond lies between my kids’ high school and an interstate bypass. It’s got high fence all around it with a dam at the end where I am able to crawl under the fence.

It’s essentially a retention pond for the highway and high school so each side is quite steep, so it’s tough to fish cuz you’re always side hilling. Add to that the briars, thistles, and wild roses and moving around the pond is a real obstacle course.

As with all ponds there is a thick mat of weeds right up against the bank over which fish must be retrieved which caused me a challenge with first couple big ones on Texas rigged power worm.













Last one was a chunk and I lost a couple others that size on Tx rigged power worm. Haven’t fished like this in years I love it!


Fun times even if a little closer to home than I normally like. Been fun finding little honey holes close to my house and when I can find em with no one else pressuring them.
