ponds tour kankakee county illinois

[Norm M]

I found a bunch of ponds on Google Earth and yes , I know the end times draw nigh , I actually used modern technology to find fishing spots . I took a tour of 7 of the 30 odd spots today . 

The best one was the least developed as I thought it might be. I caught nothing but largemouth bass , I couldn't scratch up a sunfish no matter what I tried . The largemouth on the other hand hit everthing I tried , from buzzbaits to wtd on top, crankbaits and rattlebaits, jig/plastics , wacky rigged cigar type worms to unweighted multiple hooked pre rigged worms . The other ponds were around developed areas, all suburban retention ponds . All had moderate to severe algae problems thanks to the brainwashed that crave the "perfect lawn". thanks corporate chemicals . 
I managed to catch something from all of them but four of the remaing six have been written off as not worth the effort . I went as simple and weedless as possible , 1/6 oz jig and weightless t-rigged cigar type worm . Most bluegills, some pumpkinseeds and crappies mixed in with a handful of largemouth .
