SD4x4

Ok, Well today went out with just a good 'ol worm and bobber with some luck. Hit a small catfish. Then i cast out and got a bit but wasnt able to set the hook, and lastly i was reeling it in medium paced and had a fish strike it like it was a top water bait. Thought that was pretty cool, but wasnt able to set the hook on that one either. Ill try it a couple more times with different techniques at different times, but this ponds looking bleak. Thanks for everyones advice and help!

Well i went out today with the worm set up and didn't catch a thing! I was using it for an hour and nothing. Not even a northern. I was using Berkley worms and by the way the smell! I also found out im using a Daiwa Longcast AG1300 with a jupiter rod. I switched to my minnow spinner and got two bites. Hmm im going to try a different pond tomorrow to see if the worm trick will work.

Well i talked to some guys that fish quite a bit and he said that there's wome white bass in it. he also pointed me out to anothr pond that he has caught a couple 4-5 pounders. oh and I'm located in easter n SD

Thanks for the replys! Im heading out afterschool today so ill make sure to try the worm method that deadeye mentioned. I will also start working on catts method.

Hey and thanks for looking! Ive got a couple of questions that i could use some answering too! Here's a little back round info. Ive fished before and and im not necessarily new to fishing but ive never caught a bass. Since we moved right next to a pond and am near a couple of lakes i went and found our tacklebox and rod and started fishing a bit more. Right now im using a zebco rod with a spinning reel. The last couple of weeks ive been out everyday after school Trying to catch some bass. Ive Tried everything in our tacklebox from spinners to spoons and crankbaits, and i still havn't caught anything other than small Northerns, and i usually only catch those with minnows or a small minnow spinner. My first question is, how do i tell if theres bass in there? Im thinking that their isnt any bass there now. My second is, what else can i try to see if i can get some bites? Ive been thinking about about getting some of those "dancing worms" or crawfish softbaits. Will that usually get some bites? Is there anything else you think i could do to catch some bass? Thanks!
