Pond Fishing: A "New" Trick
Its always fun to see your line take off down the lake when your half way through digging out a basklash .
-
How many states and or countries have you fished?
Missouri, Arkansas, and Illinois.
-
Fluke Colors........
I've had the most luck with baby bass.
-
spinnerbait colours??
I throw white, chart, or white/chart. If the water is murky or its at night I might try a black spinner, but usually its one of the above three.
-
I finally caught a bass with a jig and craw!!
Way to go. I caught my first bass on a jig 4 years ago. Now I always have one tied on.

Soft Plastics
Zoom Brush Hogs Finesse worms Flukes Creme Original 6" worms. I don't know what it is about these things, but they work when nothing else will.

lure question
When I fish from the bank the cranks I throw are spinnerbaits, topwaters, and shallow runners. Usually Mann's 1- minus and poppers.

Nice looking Cali bass. Good job.
- new pb today.

Another which one is the best...
I can't believe White Castle hasn't been said yet. You got to love those belly bombers.
-
Frog Misses!!!! NOOOO!!!!!
If your fishing in mostly open water try throwing a jitterbug or a popper. That is what I did. I've got a real problem with setting the hook as soon as the bass hits that frog, but I'm slowly learning self control .
-
your "go to" plastics
Finesse worms Senko or knockoff Zoom Mag II worms
-
Brush Hogs
If I am using them as a jig trailer I take off the front arms and back legs. I usually leave them along for c-rigs and t-rigs.

best crankbait for shallow pond water
Bandit footloose Mann's 1- minus Storm sub wart.

Who's fishing Pink??
My daughter bought me some pink super flukes a couple of years ago because she thought they were pretty. I guess I'll have to dig them out and give them a try.
-
ultra light rod and reel
Its a confidence thing. I don't have a lot of confidence fishing UL in heavy weeds.
-
Light tackle baitcaster??
I can get pretty good distance with a Revo S on a MH 6-6 rod. I was really suprised how far out I could cast a 1/16 ounce jig.
-
Bass Pro or Cabelas?
For fishing equipment I go to BPS, for everything else I go to Cabela's.

Swimbaiting in the grass
NIce ones, thanks for sharing.
-
Finally a decent fish
That is a nice bass.
-
Do you reveal your good fishing lakes/spots?
I use to but the people I told never came out to the lake. I'm not sure if they didn't believe me or they came out to the lake and didn't catch anything.
