Haris122 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 With the public park ponds a lot of it seems to be timing. I saw a friend of mine catch 2 nice bass this spring when it got warm enough to start stocking fish besides trout, from one of the Suson park "lakes". Also was shown a picture of a huge one while at Tilles park a year or two ago from some guy that had caught it there. Neither of those spots I would've suspected would have any good sized bass. If you hit it at the right time, after a recent stocking or such you might get a pretty good one. My lone decent one from nearby public ponds was at the smaller Fabick lake last year. How long they remain in there with everyone else fishing, that's probably the bigger question.

Haris122 Posted May 30, 2015 Posted May 30, 2015 I personally only caught a few very small ones. But I've seen people catch bigger ones, and that dude with the picture caught a huge one out of there. It never struck me as a place where a fish like that could live long, cause the algae really builds up heavily at that small place in the summer and most of the lake then seems to get really stale. Hell I'm sometimes surprised any fish can survive there during the summer. If that aeration boil were to break down, I bet things would turn out real bad for the fish there in summer.
TroutRinger Posted May 31, 2015 Posted May 31, 2015 I used to have good luck at Bee Tree in the Spring several years ago. Never caught anything huge but have personally seen others catch a couple over 5lbs. "Of all the liars among mankind, the fisherman is the most trustworthy."
