Been fishing a lot in the community lakes in our little rural subdivision of late - its 1.1 miles from the house, on the way out of the subdivision (one way in or out only) so I stop every morning and fish for a bit after taking the kiddo up to the school bus stop, and I might hit it up in the late afternoon as well. Mid days are pretty slow, bite wise, so I don't do a lot of mid-day fishing.
We also finagled permission to fish the pond adjacent to my grandparents property - they used to own it, sold it to their neighbor who for the longest time wouldn't allow any access. The crummy part is the access is going away soon - she's selling the property (we asked about it, as we were told she'd be selling this year, but she wasn't ready to sell when we were buying, which sucks!)
Its a bass & panfish pond mostly. Have had numerous break offs on 8-15 lb line, but the average bass size seems to be between 1/2 and 1 pound. Some BIG panfish in there though, at least by Oregon standards!
Some of those were caught fishing for bass - wacky rigged senkos on 1/0 hooks.
There's a fun little creek near the lake in our subdivision too, its got some pretty panfish and outsized bass for a creek so small
I'm in heaven, if you can't tell
