Bass

Largemouth bass in Eddy Pond can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Eddy Pond should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Eddy Pond bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Eddy Pond should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Chain pickerel in Eddy Pond can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Eddy Pond

Choose three different structural stops before changing sections on Eddy Pond. Compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Eddy Pond.

When to Fish Eddy Pond

Spring at Eddy Pond favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Eddy Pond, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Eddy Pond become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
