Nell's Rock Res & Golf Course Pond
Message:
Member sbehuniak (AKA Stephan) and I took our kayaks out onto Nell's Rock Reservoir (AKA Hope Lake and Shelton Reservoir) around 10am today. Forecast was calling for showers more likely towards the afternoon hours. Finally got to use my new Lowrance X4 Pro for the first time. Water temp stayed steady from 77.3 to 78.3 degrees while we were out there. Marked fish above stumps and suspended with bait. Also saw 2 schools of bait being chased on the surface. Stephan and I covered the shoreline and some deeper areas. Stephan stuck mostly with a wacky rigged Senko. I tried throwing a few Rapalas and a Pop-R before going with a Texas rigged 4" Berkley. Stephan had a number of hits and landed 4 with 1 being a keeper. I landed a total of 4 but not as many hits as Stephan had and all were no bigger than 10". NWS seemed to be wrong with the hourly forecast. 2 quick passing showers went by and 1 downpour stayed around for a while. We had to take cover under branches twice. After taking cover under the branches for a while and it was still raining, Stephan told me his girlfriend saw the rain wasn't gonna end for a while. He still had time so we went to a golf course I've been fishing since the late 90's and hadn't been to in a while. Covered a number of ponds. Stephan stuck with the Senko, which landed him 6 bass. 1 was chubbier but shorter than the keeper he caught at Nell's Rock. I landed 5. One was about 1 1/2 pounds and chubby that came on a Pop-R. 2 others came on the Berkley and the other 2 came on a shad Husky Jerk HJ-8. One fish landed on the HJ-8 was a 15" bass just under 2 pounds. It rained for a while while we were on the golf course but no downpours like when we were at Nell's Rock. We hit the road around 3pm. Stephan will have a pic coming showing what the average 1 to 2 pound largemouth looks like at the golf course.

You're lucky.There's no golf course around here that can be legally fished.I would love to hit some of the ones around here without sneaking in at night

One nice thing about the golf course I fish is access. Instead of parking in the main parking lot, there's a path that leads to the first hole and a few ponds by parking on the side of a road.
