Toby's Pond 5/2
Message:
I woke up early this morning so I decided I might as well get a little fishing in. Decided to hit up Toby's Pond because I haven't been there in a while and it has always produced in the past. I got there around 7:30 and fished to about 9:00. The sun was bright and there was no wind. There were literally hundreds of gills in the shallows (big ones at that) and the bass were patrolling around and some were sitting on beds. I started throwing wacky senkos, rattle traps, texas rigged worms, and floating rapalas. Nothing was interested in anything. I worked with some bass on their beds over and over but they weren't having a thing. I managed to get 1 small largie on the fire tiger floating rapala. I really want to go there and focus on panfish one day. Nothing like a nice panfish fry! However, I noticed on a sign that there is a 2 fish limit?! :shock: It said all bass species are catch and release only and all other fish are a 2 fish limit per day. I'm a bit surprised there would be a limit on panfish :?: :?:

I have never seen anything bigger than say a couple pounds there. There are so many dink bass in there I dont actually think there were many legal bass for you to take before they made it catch and release. The limit on panfish is just stupid.

Yeah I always see that sign too when I go there. Not sure the reasoning behind that. Toby's is a very voluminous body of water with no shortage of panfish. Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
