thx. Have you fished them if so what sizes
A few 10s, but 5-6 lbs is more common. I caught a monster on Sunday at Grove Park
on a NorthStar Original Swim Jig (Bluegill)/ RageTail Shellcracker trailer. I use to catch
a lot of big fish at Neshoba, but they killed the vegetation a few years back and it has
never been the same for me. Collierville has extremely clear water and the fishing is pretty
tough, there are simply too many little bass in the pond. However, I might have caught my
PB there two years ago.

Does Grove park have an address as i'm trying to save it in my GPS for this weekend. Also will you be fishing there anytime soon.
All three ponds are in public parks. Grove is near Houston Middle School.
I will be a Pickwick this weekend, but I fish the ponds most Saturday and
Sunday mornings when I am in town. We could probably get together next
weekend, the 20th or 21st.

oh sorry forgot to mention that
Driving east on Poplar, turn left just before the Perkins Restaurant.
About 1/4 mile, turn left on Cicvic Center Drive. You will see the Civic
Center on your right, but you cannot see the lake behind the buildings.
Drive around back and park.

That lake is definately not as good as it was about 7-10 years ago as far as bass go. We did head out there this past saturday however. I caught a 4lb bass and we caught a couple more little ones. Was windy as could be. And that lake stayed true to its addage; when it's windy, the fish don't bite.
Haven't been fishing in a little
Please Help Im still try to find Collierville Civic Center pound .i really want to go fishing
Go north at the intersection of Poplar & Market Blvd to the first street beyond the Home Depot.
The street is "Civic Center", turn left (west). On your right (north) you will see an office complex
consisting of mostly free standing, single story offices. The Collierville Library is also in this development.
The pond is not easily seen from the road, but appears quickly as you drive into the parking areas.
On the far west side is an open space used for field sports.
New to the area,live out here on Mud Island and have been fishing the wolf river lagoon.Some nice catfish caught and small bass.Any crappie back here and where are they located?
First "Big Day" of the year at Grove yesterday. Five fish in two hours,
all caught on a Sworming Hornet/ LFT Live Magic Shad. We had a large
number of crappie fishermen doing very well, too!
Hit daycare the other day. Caught a couple dinks, a 1lb 1/4 and this beauty. Just shy of 3lb.
Also stopped by Halle Park. Caught one small one. Wind was too bad out there that day.
I hit Grove this morning - lots of guys fishing. Only saw one bass landed and it looked to be a nice one. The crappie guys were doing really well. Man, that cold wind was relentless. I had one good hit on a spinner, but otherwise got skunked.
I hit grove at noon a few days ago, the bluebird day when the wind was whipping and cold...anyway no luck there and didnt see the other fellas catching any either.
Went that same afternoon to the chick fila pond right after work and managed to catch a couple really small bass on a drop shot robo worm.
Been slow at the ponds lately for me. Excelent weather to wet a line though!!
Neshoba (Chick-fil-A) used to be my dream pond, but that was ten years ago.
About four years ago the city killed all the vegetation and the pond has never
recovered. I know guys catch a nice fish occasionally, but I used to have 10+
fish mornings and a MONSTER ever now and then. I once caught nine bass
on ten casts and eleven on fifteen. Every fish was caught on a white X-Rap.

yeah Neshoba is my go to since its on my way home from work and fairly easy to get in and out, but I cant say I expect alot. There are still occasional bigs caught there but they are really sporadic. You ever fished the runoff ponds off of wolf river pkwy, by the medical offices? I call it snake pond for obvious reasons, not one single time I've been I havent stepped across a snake, BUT I also get some decent bass every once in a while out of them.
Only once and I slipped on the mud with a giant snake coming my way.
I recovered, but have never gone back.
Yep that place is a snake hole.. You guys ever fish the lake behind lowes.. My fish in my pic came from the neshoba snake hole, lol
