When I lived at the Regency Apartments they only allowed fishing for the residents, or at least I think they allowed it. I used to go at night anyway so there wasn't anyone around.

Bass Fishing

My grandparents used to go to a resort every summer on Woman Lake. Then they got their own summer place over near Park Rapids.
They stock it?
Hmmm, I don't know. My guess would be no. I am guessing they stocked it when the lake was first put in about 50 years ago, but I doubt that they care about trying to maintain it as a fishing lake.
Dang a 14 lb.. bass is huge, only in my dreams, many over 5, but you raised the bar. I should add all were released.
Kid just pulled in a 12 lb yesterday or today in Sullivan County, Indiana. Looks like its 60% eggs/shad, but I'd almost give a testicle for anything double digits. Guess there are a few fatties in this state.
Green with envy here. Wow well done to the guy

I fished there, too, but we mainly went to the area upstream from Running Water/Niobrara where it was still more or less a natural river.
If you truly want to get good at it, keep a pile of hammer-handle sized pike sometime and practice. It's MUCH easier cleaning the bigger ones, so once you can do a hammer-handle, it gets easier. Also, wherever you see a lot of hammer-handle sized pike, you probably have too many small pike anyway.
Some of you may get a kick out of this, but I had been living in Mississippi for about 2 or 3 years, and I had this favorite little fishing hole that I loved to cast in. Early in the morning there was rarely anybody there fishing. So, I'm out early, and catching nothing but no see ums and skeeters and the Sun had now come up and so did the heat and humidity with it. It's around 8:45 ish in the morning and I was about to quit fishing. Told myself I'd cast until 9 and then call it a morning. I hadn't even had a hit up to this point, so although it was nice being out, it was frustrating to not even have a nibble at all.
Fast forward to 9 am and I think to myself, screw it, just a few more casts, which led me to about 9:15 and it was really steamy, so I cast just one last time, and reeled my Rapala in and as I was pulling it out of the water(the Rapala was about 2 inches in length)I immediately started laughing. I just couldn't believe it, I was not going to be shut out that morning. I had literally snagged a Largemouth bass that was smaller than my lure. I looked at it for a second and kept laughing. I had just barely snagged this little baby, and when I pulled the hook out, I compared it to the Rapala and as sure hell, he was smaller than the lure. I chuckled all the way home and when I told the old lady about it, she thought it was pretty funny too.
The Rapala I was using was very similar to this one.

Launched boat at Blue Moon a couple weeks ago, caught couple small sauger, 12 lb flathead, snagged 2 sturgeon and a 12 inch spoonbill. Not a great day but as usual there saw deer, turkeys, and a bald eagle.
The Bass are here in the Omaha ponds you just have to work very hard to find them, spend A LOT of time on the water and figure out a bait they don't see 10 times a day.
What have you been using as bait that works for you and where have you been going? I’ve had luck at each lake that I’ve been to but ..... I go back and the same thing doesn’t work. I’ve done different baits and lures with varying success. Admittedly I am not the most seasoned fisherman in the area and have a lot to learn. The guy that I usually fish with is almost exclusively a worm guy. And we’ve had good luck with that. But that’s the main influence I’ve had.
