What to Expect at Shores Pond
Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Shores Pond, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.
Fish and Useful Baits at Shores Pond
Fish reported from Shores Pond include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.
Bass
When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Shores Pond, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.
Crappie, Perch and Sunfish
For Shores Pond crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Shores Pond are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Shores Pond are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.
Catfish, Bullheads and Carp
After dark, try a nightcrawler or cut bait near a channel turn when fishing Shores Pond for channel catfish.
A Simple Fishing Plan for Shores Pond
Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Shores Pond. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Shores Pond that reaches toward deeper water.
When to Fish Shores Pond
Spring at Shores Pond favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Shores Pond, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Shores Pond become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
