In keeping with the rollout of our Bait Finesse Systems Fishing Journal, the following is the Fishing Trip Report for last Sunday – Super Bowl Sunday, to the Warren Sports Complex. Plan was to catch a trout or two, but as it turned out only one for trip. At least, it was not a strikeout!
PS: Added footage to the video on a follow-up trip on Valentine’s Day to catch Bass on Senkos BFS Style!

Key Take Aways:

- Temps dropped 30 degrees on Sunday compared to Sunday.
- Trout action was mainly on the Northeast end and the West side. Action seemed best near “waterflow” areas.

Lessons Learned
- Fish are tending to Northeast end and/or West side where water is deeper.
- Waterflow areas were key.
- Fish deep when using Power Bait
- South end is shallow, looks promising for later in the year when temps warm.
- Pond is large with the typical “stock tank” slope. Plan to fish parallel or at acute angles when warm water bite starts.
