Tip&Trick Description 1:
Hot Weather Bass in Delaware
By Steve VonBrandt
KILLENS
Some of the best ponds during the heat, day or night, have been Millsboro, Killens, and Canal pond. First of the closest ponds to both upper and lower Delaware is Killens in Dover. Killens is located right off rt.13. Turn left onto State Park Road, follow the road around the curve, past the main park entrance, and about a mile and a half down the road is the pond. It has parking for about six to eight trucks with trailers, with an adequate launching ramp. Killens is a state park, and they also rent boats and cabins, but you will find little competition for bass except on the weekends.
Most of Killens is 1-5 feet deep at the shoreline, except in the extreme upper end, where it is just inches deep. The lake has an Island in the center with some wood cover and grass. It drops off to 6 feet quickly on the channel side(main lake), and is about 3 feet on the right side. This is a particularly good area to work in the day with 'Senko's' in 4 and 5 inch sizes in black and watermelon on a 3/0WG hook, with 8 & 10 lb test line. In addition, clacker type buzzbaits produce bass in the three to six pound range many times in this area, even in the bright afternoon sun. A Tournament frog is a good choice for the pads especially in the daytime heat. The action will be slower, but you can connect with some big explosions through the grass and pads at times. A Tournament frog is the best choice of topwater, and a 1/2 ounce in black works best all around. Vary the retrieve, both day and night, sometimes letting the frog sit after hitting the water,! as long as 30 seconds, then use a few quick hops. If this doesn't produce, try working it very fast and pausing only once, on the way back to the boat. This is especially effective in large pads.
Jigs in black and blue take their fair share of nice bass from here also, but you must be extremely accurate and quiet in your presentations or you will not connect. The bass will be in the heaviest of cover, lying in wait for a slow moving, crippled bait to come overhead.
'GO AT NIGHT'
Fishing at night when the water cools to 70-75 degrees, should not frighten you in exploring shallow water right at the drop-offs on the left side of the lake with buzzbaits cast to the main channel edge. Do not be afraid to experiment with some older, forgotten baits, such as a 'Devils Horse', or similar prop baits. They work wonders sometimes in highly pressured lakes.
MILLSBORO POND
Millsboro Pond is in Sussex County, Delaware, in the town of Millsboro off Isabella and Main Street. It has room for only a few boats, and the launching ramp is very shallow, you can get off all right, but getting back on the trailer can be real tricky. Most of the lake is shallow, with lots of grass. It has several Islands, but the bass go to shallow water at night in the upper end. Buzzbaits are best, but Tournament frogs work well also, in the day and night. Several bass have been caught in the 3 to 6 pound range in the past at night, using the Frog and Senko's mostly in the day. Cast the buzzbait wherever possible at night, it is worth removing the grass. Use Senko's by the lower end of the lake in deeper water in the day, and do not forget to let them sit a long time, raise the pole once or twice, and then cast again. Use these techniques and bring plenty of insect repellent, and you will connect with some lunkers, and many other 2 and 3 pounders.
CANAL POND
Canal Pond is located by the railroad bridge in the C&D Canal area. Turn right under St.Georges Bridge and follow the road to the pond. It has beautiful structure, pads, and has a deep shoreline with a deep hole. This was where a few years ago, the 30 pound landlocked Striped bass was caught. There are some real Lunker largemouth's still there also. You will need a small cartop boat to fish it, but it is worth the trouble of getting in. It is about 30 acres of real good dropoffs, and structure, where bass up to 9 pounds have been caught. Please remember to practice Catch, Photo, and Release so we can all enjoy the bass fishing there for a long time to come. SENKO's and 4' straight tailed worms work best throughout the year in watermelon and green. At times spinnerbaits and frogs will work, but this is a plastics lake.

CABO SAN LUCAS FISH REPORT JULY 5 to JULY 11, 2004
WEATHER: Highs in the high 90’s with humid air, night time lows in the high 70’s. Thank goodness for air conditioning! There have been light winds during the morning hours while at sea, but almost no breeze in the morning here in town. In the afternoons and early evening it has picked up a bit and cooled things off. Slight cloud cover at the beginning and the end of the week and some good, dense clouds in the middle, and these clouds dropped some rain to the north of us, but none here.
WATER: High water temperature was 85 degrees on the Sea of Cortez and the low was around 74 on the Pacific side. Straight south 15 miles we saw water temperatures in the middle. The surface conditions were good almost all week on the Cortez side of the Cape and on the Pacific they only got rough during the middle of the week when the cloud cover and wind moved in.
BAIT: The usual Caballito at $2 each, some Mullet but not much else.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Ok, the bite is still good but not as red hot as last wee, but the variety is improving. There were trips where both Blue Marlin and Striped Marlin were caught, some where a Striped Marlin and a Sailfish were caught, or a Blue Marlin and a Sailfish, and at least one boat came in flying flags for all three! The bite has moved to the south of the Cape and there seems to be a preference for lures right now, and live bait dropped back in the pattern just gets picked at, not really eaten. Darker colors worked the best but the Bleeding Mackerel still got a lot of strikes.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: Not a lot of changes on the Tuna bite, there have been a lot of footballs found as well as fish in the 20-25 pound class, and most of them have been in Porpoise pods. The best area has been to the south of the Cape 20 miles and to the south side of the San Jaime Banks. I did talk with one boat that went and worked the Golden Gate Bank and did well on fish from 20-40 pounds, but there were no other boats around at the time, and they did not find the fish on the next day’s trip to the same area. Small feathers in bright colors did well, as did cedar plugs.
DORADO: The Dorado bite keeps getting better and the bite moved on up into the Pacific this week with great action being found up in the Migranios area and the beach off of Margarite. The fish have not been large, averaging 12 pounds, but there have been plenty of them, and there has been the occasional beast mixed in. The larger fish have been farther offshore, and have been much more scattered. Slow trolled live bait under working Frigate Birds has provided a lot of action as has trolling medium sized bright lures.
WAHOO: A decent Wahoo bite this week with a few boats getting doubles on fish averaging 30 pounds. Most boats of course never had a Wahoo strike but that is the way it often goes with these fish. The favorite lure seemed to be anything in either Bleeding Mackerel or Bleeding Dorado run either very short (second wake) or very long (back on #8 or #9).
INSHORE: Most of the boats were working a bit farther offshore than usual due to the number of Dorado to be found, and those working for the normal; inshore fish were a bit disappointed. There were some Roosterfish caught as well as Jack Crevalle, but not in the numbers to be expected this time of year.
NOTES: Well George finally left on his trip north yesterday and he wrote this report Saturday morning just before he left. So if you are in San Diego, say hi to him when he passes by.
Cheaptickets.com has a deal from LAX this week. $180 roundtrip plus the taxes. Finally!
