I decided to hit the water close to home after work and head back up to Huntington Pond after a less than stellar outing back in April to try and find some quality bass now that the weather has slightly improved.

Huntington Pond is a beautiful location for a quick stop to fish, maybe 60-70 acres total. You paddle into the main area through a shallow canal and under several low bridges, with super clear water and a wide variety of fish like bass, trout, pickerel, sunfish, and more, it can get really busy but it's worth the visit if you're in the area.

I typically do really well here with a senko, but I've been trying to improve on some other baits and decided to practice using more crankbaits this trip. I picked up a few Strike King KVD crankbaits in the Sexy Shad color and was able to get a few fish to bite, but most of the better fish were all caught using a small Ned Rig along the eastern shore.
