"The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fishing Basics" by Mike Toth. Seriously. You gotta learn how to crawl before you learn how to walk.

Been absolutely killin' 'em this fall at my favorite pond with the 1 oz. Rat-L-Trap, chrome, especially the black back, although sometimes they prefer the blue back. Just been chuckin' it out into the middle and burning it back with a low rod tip position.

Guess nobody has used these?

Yeah, we don't really have anything in what the manufacturer calls bluegill, but I'm probably gonna order some before March.

My son and I fish ponds almost exclusively, one in particular which seems to have an abundant population of bluegill, so I was thinking about purchasing some. Was just wondering if they work!

Apologies, here's a link to what some of them look like........

Has anybody had any luck with these, especially the buzzbaits and spinnerbaits? Thanks for any and all responses.

Strike King Buzz King, white or chartreuse, because the strikes are just awesome!

Honestly, the best thing I got for Christmas was the multiple high five exchanges with my daughter when she checked to see if her first paycheck from her first full time job after graduating from college in May was deposited into her account on Christmas morning.

Thanks, guys! Supposed to get up to 63 degrees here today, hoping to grab some of your suggested combinations and get back out there!

Do any of you guys use the Uncle Josh Pork Frog trailers with your jigs?

We've had mild weather recently that's extended our pond fishing, so I'm trying to adjust accordingly. The reaction bite has all but disappeared, so I'm slowing way down and using plastic lizards right now with varying success. I don't currently own any jigs, so I was wondering if any of you all could recommend some to try. My primary outfit is a Shimano Curado 200 on a 6' Fenwick Eagle GT with Triple Fish Camo-Escent, 10# test. Size, head shape and color, weight, skirt patterns and trailers are confusing, to say the least, especially when fishing from the bank or dock. Thanks to all and Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm losing hope, ya'll. I've googled every combination I can think of trying to find these, to no avail...biggest plastic lizard, longest plastic lizards, etc., etc. They GOTTA out there somewhere.....

Oh, I and I agree 100% with everybody who cited the Creme Scoundrel pre-rig. Walmart's ALWAYS got some on the shelf, they never seem to run out.

Luhr Jensen's Bass Oreno. We have one of the large ones, 5/8 oz., in the frog pattern that, if there's any topwater bite at all, works consistently. It's amazing how such a simple lure can attract big fish.
