Green Turtle Pond?

[dboyd101]

Has anyone been there in a while? For a small place I think it gets quite a bit of pressure and was wondering if there's been much luck there in the recent days/weeks. It's just up the road from me and is much more manageable as an after work spot than some of the other places I like to go.

Thanks! And feel free to PM me instead of posting if you'd like to not burn a spot.

Cheers,
Dave

i was up there last year one time on a nice day in august and there were a ton of people swimming, people tailgating from their vehicles while blocking the boat ramp and the road down to the launch was like driving across the surface of the moon.

sorry, don't have a more recent report but hopefully it's totally different this year anyway

I am not a fan of that place. They stock trout there in November as part of the "winter" trout stock. I tried for trout in Dec and saw many nice rainbows jumping but they wouldn't bite anything.
Aside from that, my brother fished it 3 days ago and got the skunk. Ive only caught a couple pickerel and bass in there, more pickerel. not many tho.

And the road going down sucks.

Yeah, the road isn't fun. Fortunately, that's where the FJ kicks in and I let it do the dirty work

Thanks for confirming that it's not just my lousy fishing skills that make my experiences here pretty rough.

I've been there a few times this year and it is a challenging place to fish. I was able to manage a couple bass each trip but really had to work for them. The access road is pretty rough but to my surprise it does not deter the crowds from venturing down to swim, shore fish, kayak etc. For a small lake it gets a ton of traffic.

Last two trips, I spoke with 4 other boats on the water and I was the only one landing anything. If you unlock the secret to this lake let me know!

Fished there a few years ago from shore got a nice 3# brown, fished this past April from a boat 0, ramp was fouled with a downed tree that was used for a bonfire !

HAHA!! That's the exact same thing I say every time I go down that road (if you want to call it that). It's usually followed by stuff like "Houston, we have a problem." , "The Eagle has landed." , and "One small step for man, one giant leap for Fishermankind." LOL.

Come on now, the surface of the moon isn't that bad!!
