Honey holes

Does anybody know of ponds or other rarely fished places that hold good size bass with access either by talking to the land owner or just a public place that nobody fish's?

Try Ollala Lake by Toledo Oregon going toward Newport.This is a trolling motor only lake so no water skiers or jet skis.It has some huge bass in there.I have seen them schooled together and it is nothing to see 5-6 hanging togehter in the 3-5lb range.Water is usally clear so light line helps.Crank baits with long cast work good.Havgent been there yet this year but usally go every year

Do you have a boat?

Mill ponds are some of my favorite seldom-fished bodies of water. Some of them hold unbelievable amounts of good-sized bass. Try some close to wherever you live; if you have a canoe or other small floating device you might be surprised, depending on the specific pond. Be careful though, some mill ponds have been contaminated with chemicals. If you catch a bass with three eyes make sure you post pics.

If you have a boat, try google mapping the Willamette. Below Hyak park between Albany and Corvallis there is a great slough, but if your boat is too large you won't be able to get past the weeds. About a mile and a 3/4 above the ferry at Buena Vista the Luckiamute flows in and there are some pretty nice smallmouth up in there.
