Skunk Report Update 9/24:
I got to the lake around 10:00am. Decided to use trusty ole nightcrawalers. Beside a few nibbles from small fish (shad maybe?), the pond seemed dead. I switched to a white zoom fluke and still nothing. I did see a decaying bass and turtle.

I'll just keeping fishing Balboa when staying in the city, which is a bummer because this place has a lot of shade.
