So, not to complicate things, but I thought I'd post this to see what others think. One of our anglers just pre-fished the Nip and said water is low and place is not fishing well according to him and some other local anglers. I'm hesitant to change the venue for a number of reasons. What do others think? Any opinions? Thanks!
I caught a 5-6 pounder a month or so ago, but this whole summer ive had trouble catching numbers at the nip. every time I go, I catch 1-3 fish all day, but they are monsters, nothing of any small size, not complaining, just saying, im worried about the growing numbers there. More importantly, im not sure where you all are planning on launching from, but ive heard that chase road has been blocked off by a massive pile of dirt created by the new house at the end of road, I havent been back there to see it, but I saw pictures of the pile, and made the road inpassable, it may very well be clear by now.

The water always gets low there, and the fishing can be tough any time of the year at the Nip.
The fish are in there, though. At a tournament two weeks ago there were five fish over five pounds brought into the scales, and the water was low.
Fish it!
Like I commented earlier there was a tourney there just 2 weeks ago 1st place was a 19+ lbs and 2nd place was 18+ lbs! I was there the day before the tourney and could only catch 12 inchers but that doesn't mean I don't wanna fish there.Its not the easiest place too fish and it does get a lot of pressure but there hasn't been any permitted tourneys there since the one 2 weeks ago.As for low water every Pond that doesn't have flood control(a dam) is low right now.Were using the ramp so Chace Road doesn't matter. I think we're gonna see our biggest winning catches of the year next Saturday!!!
I am in! I live right behind the Nip, and usually fish there every weekend. Yes the water level is low and the bite can be hit or miss, but there are still monsters in there. Went with a friend yesterday and we caught 6 Bass total in probably 3 hours. Biggest being 4 Pounds and smallest a 2 pounder. The nip will be a challenge to fish but should be fun.......if you know the spots
