Green Turtle Pond?

I"ve nicknamed Green Turtle Pond "Baby Monksville" for its deceiving
appearances and close proximity to its namesake. Well, at least there ARE huge gamefish in Monks, just not terribly cooperative ones!

LOL Baby Monksville!!! If there was any chance at anyone who read that catching a big fish out of either lake, you just jinxed it .

Trout is pretty easy when they stock and occasionally you can get a hold over into the winter months and summer months(very rare in the summer). The road does suck but getting somewhere easy is never fun. That being said, I hate fishing bottom but 45 degree angles from the boat launch about 30 yards out you can drop some bottom and let the kids whack a few. Catfish can get exceptionally big for a small pond. I get one here and there going 7-8 lbs, but my son landed an 11 pounder this fall. Cats are mostly channel cats. Bass and pickerel do well since it's a shallow warmer lake but it does have a few cold water springs. I previously stated where 2 of them are. There are 3 others and the only thing I'll say on them is that you really have to get in a canoe or boat and "fall" in and feel the water about 4 feet down. If it's ice cold in the summer, you found one.
