I fish Prospect Park in Brooklyn NYC. I pulled a grill out of the water the other day. I've also pulled out a cassette tape and a basketball trophy from 2011 but I've also had some of my best fishing days there. It's really sad to see bodies of water get trashed but it definitely doesn't mean the fish aren't biting! great vid!!!

[@justhewaves]

That jerk bait had me dying. 😂 "...in five inches of water." Always a pleasure to see a new vid!

[@RodneyMcNutt]

You should do a series that showcases bank fishing for places a shore angler can go specific to different areas in DFW. So do a whole 1 or 2 part for Irving, Grapevine, Southlake, etc so people will have specific videos to reference when trying to figure out where to catch fish. I think it will make it very clean and searchable, which is pretty hard to find when it comes to fishing videos.

[@JohnRees3]

Or you could quit being lazy and go put the work in yourself like a normal person…

[@RodneyMcNutt]

@ thanks for that positive comment. I have a specific google maps that I’d be willing to share with my experiences and notes I’ve taken at each spot. I’d like to see how it compares to others’ experiences. It can be tough for someone like myself with small children that can’t always take time away from work, coaching soccer, dance practices, cooking dinner, and other duties.

[@kevinjohnson7948]

Fishbrain sucks where I live most of the ponds and lakes near me are private and there’s so many ponds to chose it’s hard to pick a location

[@amorton94]

What's funny is Jon's description of all these ponds (shallow, featureless, etc) is how you could describe pretty much every pond and most lakes in Colorado.

[@michaeldejardin1497]

[@supremejonathanmat645]

It’s kind of annoying in the DFW area. There’s only a few clean lakes. Lake Lewisville is so dirty at certain locations

[@zz--ss1660]

I’ve fished that last spot in Denton, caught a nice LMB but it does suck and super shallow

[@davidharvey6875]

The last pond you fished, you are correct, it is only about 2ft deep across most of it, the deepest is 4.5ft way out in the middle as I've taken my kayak on it with sonar, isn't much in this pond but carp and bullhead catfish. I have tried fishing this pond many times and never had any luck other than carp.

[@dylansanterre9137]

Wonder why lol and in Texas? 😂

[@Rose.Of.Hizaki]

If you ever come to the UK for some urban fishing. Youre guaranteed to catch your PB supermarket trolley or pushbike. Most folks run heavier lines for this very reason. Its been about 6-7 years since you've been down here with FishWithCarl. Maybe give him a shout and get him to take you around some UK rivers and canals around the Manchester and Birmingham areas.

[@PanfishinPedro]

that last spot was literally just a giant puddle LOL

[@devyncleghorn477]

Some people in Denton swear it's a good spot. in the spring you can catch a bunch of unhealthy bluegill if that means anything. thought the northern pond at northlakes is pretty premium.

[@Higherthanany1]

Jon long time fan. haven't watched in a while but saw this video pop up and clicked on it immediately. iv fished all of these lakes and yeah pretty much the same experience here. wish to have seen you out there to finally meet you. Pulled up on you guys at trinity river once but you guys were no where to be found glad to see your still doing good

[@Muskiemal]

Don’t know if you’ll see this message Jon, but on Nantucket there are several ponds/lakes many with trout and one with Koi. These ponds and lakes do not get enough attention. Would love to see a vid about them! (Almost caught a world record pickerel out of one btw)

[@TMFishing10]

That’s crazy. I’ve only ever been on the island once, but I figured only stripers would have stayed in the ponds. Does the state stock them or are they pets for private ponds??

[@Muskiemal]

@ Some of the ponds are stocked with trout and largemouth bass, but the koi have been in there for as long as I can remember, a mystery! Though there are some ponds with stripers and hybrid stripers which have gotten into the ponds when they open to the ocean

[@Chilakilla]

Good move on the “no smooch” I caught a butt load a fish there. Carp,largemouth,blue gill, and rock bass

[@blakemusiccarter3102]

My pb here in Oregon came out of a super urban pond next to rail road tracks and apartments all around. I had just discovered the ned rig and nailed a 7.01lb bass on July 4th! I wish I could have caught this fish pre spawn, maybe she’d be close to the holy grail 10lbs! Jon I’ve been a fan for decades! I tried to get you to come out here and fish with me. At one point I had private access to the lake Oregon’s record came from. It’s been filled in since then. If you ever venture out this way and want to be completely frustrated by steelhead hit me up. I’ve got an ace team.

[@tokai5390]

Get this guy a video with jon b

[@TrophyFish]

If you want to fish a city pond with lots of inner city “features”, but holds some fish, try Bachman lake at Dallas Love Field. It’s 100% fishable from the shore and has some cool B roll opportunities with Southwest planes taking off and landing over the lake. From docks to creeks it has a little bit of everything and some toads live in there.

New sub here! Great video and good job on pulling some Bass out of those low rated ponds! I live a little North of the DFW area but fish down there from time to time. I agree some of those ponds are really nasty in that area, but the good thing is your choice of ponds to fish in that entire area is pretty much endless..lol! I think it would take years to fish all of them in the entire DFW area..lol!

[@Fathomie86]

This was a fun video to watch! I'd love to see you fish Springfield Park (Lakes of Springfield) in Rowlett. Growing up, we fished there alot and would catch HUGE blue cats. TWPD reports this lake hasn't been stocked since 2003, and every time I've gone recently I get skunked. However, I do see fish jumping so I know somethings in there.

When we snag rigs like the deep diving jerkbait with 3 split shots or anything that makes you question why would they do this . We refer to them as a chafa rig . We catch a lot of chafa rigs at calaveras and braunig lake , home of the chafa rig .

I would love for you to try this in Southern California. All our city lakes are trashed but can hold some nice fish. The only problem is it's so pressured I almost guarantee that it'll be the hardest fish to catch.

Interesting video but, I think you shoud've bring also a light spinning rod with smaller lures like small soft plastics and also some earthworms, corn or bread since they were crappies, catfish and carp in these ponds, to really see their potential. Unless was only a bass challenge with only a spinnerbait. But you didn't mention that that was the case.
