Read about these places that you're asking about. Google the pond. You can almost always find something. Check the trips section of this site. You can read trips to the ponds in question. Posting a new thread for every pond you're interested in is kind of annoying.
Whitehall can be tough. The place gets pounded and pretty much every weekend there's a T there. That being said it can produce some nice bass and has its good days. Your first time there you'll be overwhelmed with all the cover. Go toss a frog around or go out in the middle and soak jigs/worms. You never know where they'll be. If you fish from shore then I wouldn't bother going there.
welcome to the site and the area and you haven't said if you fish from a boat or from shore that can make a difference.. Also shawneramone if it bothers you that much don't open his threads it's not like there are a thousands post on this site every minute
