Looking for somewhere to pond hop and look for some bass in Baton Rouge/ Prarieville areas. TIA

The pond behind Pennington is loaded. White buzzbait at night. Listen for the hit.

White Oak Landing
If you can not get run off.
If security shows up, pretend you are deaf and give them some fake mumbo jumbo sign language.

RIP OB fishing map. That was fun while it lasted

There's a pond off Essen Lane by I12 behind that tower if you wanna go catch a few. I don't think there's even security but not sure how pressured it is either.

Mondays at BRCC used to be pretty good.

I’ve had some luck at those condos off Ben Hur by LSU. I’ve heard people have had luck at Women’s hospital. It sucks cause there’s a ton of ponds but most are private and people will run you off (which I get). Just want to wet a line and catch and release but there’s jackasses who will take every decent fish out of a pond to eat.

Not a pond but a canal that dumps into the pond at Greenwood park in Baker. Lavey Lane near Hwy 19. Park at the strip mall by Baskins Robbins and fish the canal between the shopping center and residential area. A 6” black with blue tail Texas rigged plastic worm will catch the hell outta 10-12” bass every afternoon about an hour before dark. I did this after work every spring and summer at least twice a week. Also the pond behind Mike Anderson’s on Lee Drive has some hammers but you have to be stealthy and sneak through the brush from Nickolson to not get busted there. Any Topwater noise making lure with a white belly will produce violent strikes all summer there. Good luck and let us know how you fared.

Hopefully they will have University Lakes fixed up soon.

I used to live off Ben Hur at what was called the cottages. The pond over there was loaded with bass and sac a lait.
KVD red eye shad lipless crankbait was my weapon of choice.
My biggest went around 5.
I’m not sure how easy it is to get back there now and not be runoff.
I used to live near Pennington and got run off bc some old hag that was walking called security on me.
I caught a few each time but nothing to write home about.

Caught an 11-8 in the wedgewood pond in the 80s. She’s still in there hopefully! Biggest bass I’ve ever seen in person.

Yea that pond and woods by the cottages were absolutely loaded with wildlife besides fish.
I never saw deer but tracks were absolutely everywhere. Unfortunately would see dead deer on Burbank and Nicholson.
My god the amount of wood ducks made me envious as a duck hunter.
I’d wake up early sometimes just to watch them come in and out.
Yes most of the woods have been cleared and developed which is sad.
The fishing was awesome and easy especially if you hit it just right.
One time in the spring 2 buddies and I caught about 50 slabs in 2 hours and had a huge fish fry.
It was a special pond for sure.

If you can fish any of the neighborhoods down Burbank, they generally have pretty decent fishing. Buddy of mine used to live in University Villas and we’d catch plenty of 2-3lb bass and some nice sac-a-lait in there

The biggest bass around were in the pond at the end of Strain Rd in Lakepark. During the spawn it was nothing to catch multiple fish over 6lbs.

What about some of the creeks and stuff around BR? Like that creek/bayou they fixed up at Highland Rd Park, across the street from the Disc Golf course. Or Ward’s Creek, that creek that runs along I-10, in between the interstate and Mall of LA, goes underneath the Siegen overpass, and ends up merging with Bayou Manchac by the state fair fairgrounds, on Airline.
I’ve never fished these places before, but they may be worth checking out.

If anyone is adventurous there's a pond that was dugout back in the day behind the topgolf that was loaded with decent bass when a guy I know fished it a few times.
He said it was dugout to build up I12 and is super deep but idk how accessible it is.

The pond at Blue Cross off Bluebonnet used to hold crazy numbers of really big sacalait back in the late 80s as well as big blue cats.

The pond at ITT on airline was my go to years ago.
