The only defect is that the hooks poke holes in the lure.

Awsome Tom, Glad somone else knows what I see...lol

Upsize your lure.

Fish slower.

i'm gonna give it a shot next month.

Can't beat the bite on a carolina-rig right now!

That's how I started out

It's all about the genetics!

Well my intake, Pond VS Lake:Smaller body of water, will have some of the same features as lakes,such as: creeks,ditches,roadbeds,humps,dropoffs,structure,ect..do the fish still follow the same pattern as they would in a lake...? Somewhat, they can still be found in shallow flats and in coves that are recieving enough sun light. After the spawn most will stay shallow, as they will in a lake,a pond is considered to be smaller than a lake,therefore a pond heats up quicker and cools of quicker than bigger bodies of water such as a lake. Don't forget most of the same food bass eat. Lakes, well are bigger,most have a main channel and or river channels. Most are deeper. You have a better understanding, IMO, on learning the seasonal pattern of the largemouth. To me it's a bigger challange. You have baitfish that only can survive in lakes because of the rivers and channel, such as shad. I would have to say Bass have more of an open buffet in a lake,but people will beg-to-differ. Hope this helps.

I agree, i'm a with the "instinct", it's true.

Yeah, eventually bass do get "smarter" on their choice of bait...lol,they say think like a bass, well I am...lol I wouldn't want to be hooked after being hooked once lol.

I wouldn't doubt the rig at all, it produces, there is a right and wrong way for any lure and any technique.....at the right circumstance and prsentation is the key to being successful.

Fluke and a roster-tail.

Yea I have a "secret bait" when using carolina-rig, I have yet to not land bass on.

Also you can use in the rain...not a -------->thunderstorm

It's been weired in the south as well.

Well not only is it the dam. If you face the dam..there is also a smaller building, maybe a pump station and there are aerators every 100yrds but only 5, it's insane when they run the aerators cause you can see the bass come flying out after all the schools of shad...no the bass aren't huge, but you would think there may be a few big'ns under all the shad.

Very sad to hear,

Sounds like a lake problem.

Sweet let us knows what works the most sufficient.

Welcome, Chapel Hill, well you are not to far from some of the best states bass fishing lakes.

You could alway phone up your State's District Wildlife Biologyst.

I'ts a reservoir dam, fairly small, but I do know the river channel pushes a lot of tress and or brush by the current, seems like the bass would be in heaven with all the structure.

Anyone have any luck fishing Dams? Yes I am aware that some are restricted.

Yup a trailer hook.
