Went to Wharton Brook mid-day when the sun was high but the fish were still very active. Lots of bluegill around and the bass were jumping everywhere. The water is very shallow and clear so you can see a lot of the structure in the water where the bass like to hang out. I started out with Texas Rigged 3" Fat Senkos in Black and Green Pumpkin casting out to those areas with the structure and letting it sink. If I didn't get a bite on the initial fall down I would reel in the senko until it was above the next area of structure and let it sink again. Spot fishing was also very good so if I saw a fish jump out of the water I would cast to it and usually it would bite. I also tried Wacky Rigged 4" Senkos which caught me the most fish. I ended up with 7 bass in about 2.5 hours.

I went to Wharton Brook to fish for a few hours later in the day. The water here is shallow and if you were to stand out in the middle of the lake you would only be up to your waist from the looks of it. Lots of species here but if you are going for bass you should stick to and follow the bank. Cast near the matted grass on top of the water and structure. Since the water is so shallow you can see ripples in the water where the bass are swimming. On the beach side casting towards the middle of the lake where the grass floats will get you some bass as well. The bait of choice here is weightless texas rigged soft plastics. Senkos work the best for me in Black, Green Pumpkin, and Watermelon. Using the 3" senko on a finesse setup will catch you anything. Use a 1/0 hook for the 3" and a 3/0 or 4/0 for the 5". I ended up catching 5 bass with a new personal best. The personal best was 3.8 lbs!
