Well I finally did hit Salem Pond this evening. I fished over on the end away from the park. There's some sort of old dock or retaining wall or something and I fished around there and all around that end of the pond. I did get several bites and saw several bluegill or sunfish, not sure which, follow my worm all the way in. I'm not sure if the bites were bass or panfish or what. Didn't catch anything but it was a beautiful day and I had a lot of fun. I just can't imagine that there are that many bass in there. For those of you who have fished there, is that a good area to focus on? Also, how do you get decent casting distance without a weight? My bites today were on a 4" Senko but I had a bullet weight pinned to the head as well. I used watermelon and pumpkin worms. Thanks again for all your help. I'm excited to get back out there!
