I fished Woodridge for the first time this past spring. I fished it twice and the first time it was cold and storm was moving in. My friend lives out there and he's largemouth fanatic.

I fish freshwater bass about 20 times a year but I'm on the Ocean every week fishing inshore or offshore. I guess it was my lucky day because the first time I fished it We had a total 9 bass in two hours of fishing up to 4lbs. I had eight of those fish and smallest fish was caught by my buddy. Plus I got the into a monster blue gill bite with all the fish going well over a pound. All fish were released and no exageration on the size of these things. I've been fishing over 20 years and these where the biggest gills I've ever caught. I had one that was over two. I thought I had the world record absolutely phenominal. I had to fish this lake again and that's exactly what I did the following week. Fished it for three hours for 12 bass up to 7lbs with trophy fish that made some spetacular jumps for us and unfortunately spit the hook the process. My buddies and I estimated the fish to be 8-10lbs and I thought that was a fair guess. This is an awsome little lake with quality fish. I will be returning to fish with my buddy this comming year. The only reason I didn't fish it more is because I was involved in a major project at the office which left me with no days off through out the summer. I lost almost the entire season this past year. It was a bummer but this comming season I will be making up for some lost time. Good luck
