cal poly ponds

[rusty6]

for those of you on campus here or have fished the ponds on campus, what works...i don't consider myself a bass fisherman in any way and this is the only fishing i really have, any tips would be appreciated.

I did OK on the upper pond with jerkbaits and I hear small plastics on dropshot rigs work also. In my opinion, the lower pond does not have enough access to fish it thoroughly. It's clear and that calls for spooky fish. I hear that there can be a good sunfish bite in there, though. The same goes for the upper pond- I have seen it for myself!

But I think it's probably too cool and too early to expect much action up there just yet. Try it in the later half of March- if the warm weather pattern holds up.

what kind of plastics, to be honest i am fairly bass inept haha, unless ive got some crawdads

Try some 4" power worms (greens, browns, shad or black colors) in straight tail if you can find them. Find a tackle shop in town (if there is one?) and ask them to show you how to show how a "dropshot rig" is set up. Use 6 pound fluorocarbon line and use a 1/8th ounce sinker at the bottom of the rig. You can catch fish year round on this rig if you have patience but i still think that you should wait til March.

Use Google Maps in "satellite" setting to look at an overview of the campus. The ponds are located in the North-West section of the campus near the horse stables and agriculture fields.

I go to cow poly ptown.

Shhhh [the dorm pond] .....no jk. The only bass is the lone guy someone planted in the japanese garden. I would drop off crawlers & dads from work for the lil guy.
