Great Herring Pond Fishing Report

5 Rating based on 4 Reviews

Dangerous

On July 31 headed down to Plymouth with a friend and his prowler. Was looking to score his first adult life smallie. Great Herring is much to big for a prowler....at least in the Summer. Had one of the worst/hair raising rides ever as we got douched by some wind waves and crappy pleasure rider boats and skiers. Mad a crazy trek to opposite side of pond to get out of wind and slowly and I mean slowly work our way back to the ramp. I got a largemouth on a spinnerbait and had four smallies come undone twice on the jump twice right along side the boat missed a nice jig hit I would like back as well. The smallies were just that no more than 12inchers. Unfortunately my bud got the skunk for the second time out in row with me. Told him he picks time and place next go round.



Glad I had the helm as he has little boat control experience and the ride across the pond was brutal once we got about 300 yards from the shore I felt relaxed and proceeded to just hit first dock we could find to bail out 2.5 gallons of water. Lesson learned on that no doubt not my smartest decision ever. Just glad I have all our gear still and are here to type about it.



Highlight of the trip was a a hot chick in her bikini and her boyfriend getting their rig out of the water right after us. As we tied things down and stowed the gear we got in my buds pickup and he being a good yet very quite friend cracks this line that had us laughing and joking all the way home. Hey Brian? Yeah. Was it just me or did you hear music to each time she walked back and forth by us....lol
