Welcome to the board! Get out to Jacobson Park right now if you're wanting to catch some bass. Fish a spinnerbait, square bill crankbait or Rat L Trap around the trees. I've not fished it in several years but have caught some nice bass out there in the past. Getting a boat over to the golf couse side will get your best results.

Interesting. I'll try and get out there tomorrow depending on the weather.

I just got back from the Cardome Ramp area on Elkhorn Creek in Georgetown. Fished there for about 45 minutes with no luck. BUT, I went to Sportsman's Warehouse after and got a few things. Picked up some 1/8oz jig heads, Strike King bitsy tubes, Berkley Gulp! (Leeches, worms and shaky shad) along with a small spool of Trilene Fluorocarbon line to try out. All I've ever used is monofilament.

You didn't happen to stop by Backwaters today did you? Someone stopped in when I was checking out and was given a map of the local area. Was that you?

Nope. Wasn't me. What's Backwaters? Is that a store?

Jacobson Park and the pond off of Richmond road can produce some fish, mostly smaller unless you get ahold of a cat or carp. You can also hit up the river just south of Lexington but I never had to much luck there. Best fishing I found was in the neighborhood ponds around town. Good Luck!

Thanks for all the help everyone! I went back to Elkhorn this evening but had no luck. Granted, I wasn't there long and it was kind of cold. However I did try the new Trilene Fluorocarbon that I put on both of my reels. Maybe I did something wrong when putting it on the reel but this stuff is terrible. The memory is the worst part. I may go back to the red Cajun monofilament I was using before.

I know there can be a case made for fluorocarbon but I have used it and decided against using it anymore. I'm an excel mono guy and I know it works just fine. Fished it for almost 20 years in many states and many type of cover. The trick to me is paying attention to your line while fishing. I do alot of flipping and pitching so I'm touching my line alot and if I feel a rough spot I'll retie to cut that out. Jmo

Welcome to the site

Welcome to the site. Read the board; these guys are a lot of help. Read the fishing reports and articles on the board too. With the internet; you have tons of information at hand.

But most importantly; get out and fish when you can and want to. I started up fishing about 8 years ago and know what most of these guys are talking about now. I don't always know what I am doing but continue learning.

Have fun.

Backwaters is a bait & tackle store in Lexington. They have a great selection of baits, rods, reels, etc. They're located on New Circle Rd., across the street from Sam's Club (East side of town).

Yep and prolly the best in town. Good local folks to buy from and they appreciate you much more than the chain stores.
