Bass Ponds

FishySkater · 07-18-06, 12:42 AM

I was fishing at these Bass ponds the other day i wasnt there long maybe only fifteen twenty minutes so i didnt expect anything but i didnt see anyone there at all. it was empty all four of them. Ive heard that you can get huge fish out of them and i heard you never catch anything from them. They are very nice size ponds but i can only reach one shore if i want to go to another shore i either have to go swimming or walk through the thickest thing of briars (thorn bushes) that i have ever seen. Does anyone have any suggestions. Or even what i should use out there.

Well i dont have any crankbaits or pnj but i have a few rubber worms i can use. I would have lots but my box got stolen so im workin on gettin a new one. Im gettin it next weekend.

I<3LrgMouthsOnMyPole · 07-18-06, 02:34 PM

worms are good enough just use them weightless if u can thats what i do the best on anyways

I once walked a short distance away from a lake I had fished all morning long without success to a nearby pond so small two casts would cover the diameter. I started tossing a tandem spinner made by Terminator. In 6 casts I had five very nice size bass, all above 3 pounds. Maybe try a spinnerbait?

ToPwAt'R GuY · 08-05-06, 10:58 PM

I would try some soft plastics, smaller spinnerbaits, and jigs in small ponds. Maybe even a few crankbaits.

bassking22 · 08-05-06, 11:04 PM

Hey keith, how much that fish weigh????

flfireman · 08-05-06, 11:40 PM

One suggestion I didn't see. Buy a pair of field jeans or brush jeans. This would make the walk to the other ponds a little more bearable. As far as catching fish, everything above nailed it pretty good.

bassking22 · 08-05-06, 11:47 PM

I actually am surprised that noone has posted the greatest piece of advice. Experiment and try everything. My friend once caught a 3.5 lber on a wacky rigged fat albert under a bobber. Try stuff you thought would never work.

keithdog · 08-06-06, 10:38 AM

That one weighted 6 pounds. Not bad for the first fish of the year when I caught him just after ice out, LOL.

bassking22 · 08-06-06, 10:55 AM

lol nice, just after a week of below freezing temps, me and my friends, went on a trip to a national park, and we were killing em(at least for a bunch of 13 year olds) we got 5 over three pounds and my 4.5 lber in the picture.
