Second time out fishing this Naperville PD pond. I knew I would ultimately have to get in the water to fish it effectively because the shoreline grasses & shrubbery hang 2 to 3 feet over the waters edge. It's a total jungle surrounding the whole pond. The bottom was much harder than I anticipated and was pretty easy to wade the whole perimeter. Kept things easy and just threw either a gill swim jig or black/blue one with a olive shad swim bait trailer. Shout out to Badger for posting a special sale on Kalin's Sizmic Shads in late winter. They've worked great as swim jig trailers and I've run through all 3 bags I bought. Ended the day with a bakers dozen with these 3 the best. Biggest went 3.12
Looking at the west side of the lake on Google maps it looks like it's all open with rock. Am I looking at right lake? Lake Osborne? By PD do you mean police department or park district.. I thought at first you meant police but can't be same pond.

Nice work out there, Dave! I've thought about waders for the same reason, but I haven't taken the plunge on the cost. Those PD ponds are really sleepers--I've looked at a few near me, but I haven't made the trip yet.
Also, don't forget to take the head gear, glasses and face cover off before you go into the bank :lol:

Agree...Traffic on 59 is insane and who in the hell thought that reverse direction interchange at 59 & 88 was a good idea? Had to be a damn English woman civil engineer.
