Went to Ponds 1, 2, and 4, with a brief hop to 5.
Pond 1: many small perch, several annoying planter trout, which even hit plastic worms (6"), but really loved small jigs with red and white mini tubes. 2 bass, both on jigs, about a pound and a half each.
Pond 2: the all trout all day long channel. Kind of fun, but not my target. 3 decent perch. Jigs again. I was starting to see a pattern with my lightning fast reasoning powers.
Pond 4: More people, and the planters were really into anything tossed. Met the Jigmeister in his johnboat. Nice fellow, and we have much in common from living in the Basin earlier in life. Okay, Okay, back to the fish! Caught one bass, maybe 3 lbs, probably 2.5. Fun, but sluggish from the cool water.
Pond 5: not a fair test. Made maybe a dozen casts, with no action. Went back to 4.
Totals: Approximately 80 trout (all C&R planters), 3 bass, numerous perch
(75-100?), 2 crappie (small) 0 bluegill (not active yet?). In sheer numbers, it was a "5" day, but no size to speak of. Overcast days do wonders on ponds to get the bite going. Took home 1 poor perch that hit like a bass, and I set the hook accordingly. When I reeled up the slack, the fish, now behind me, was deceased. I cooked it for my dogs. They REALLY love fish!
Long report for a short trip...
May the Good Lord keep your boat afloat, even with the tremendous weight of your catch! (But may it be a near thing!)

addendum: Jiggy caught about 40 I believe he said, of the planters, and some crappie and perch. So the numeric totals were pretty good. Would make great kid fishing!
