It has been rare that I find a CC pond were they can be caught on lures, but, BOY when I do find one...It's alot of FUN. The only thing better than LMB fishing is catching CC while doing it.
Record to date is a 9 pound CC on a #3 Mepps. I caught 3 others that morning on the same lure, the smallest being 5 pounds. This Missouri pond was stocked with CC years prior, but LMB had gotten in somehow. The bass were numerous and small. Nature had trained the CC to feed on them I suppose.
Similar recent story in a large Texas pond...caught 10 CC from 3 to 6 pounds with a long purple rubber worm, casting and left to sink slowly to be hit within a foot of the surface. Best fishing, No..."catching" of my life! Catching bass was boring slow that day (maybe one an hour), no panfish were even seen, but the CC were there.
Good Times!
