Nice. Are you fishing at sunrise or later in the morning?

I hit the ponds at the westside Industrial park two days in a row and no luck. I talked to a couple people I seen there and they were getting skunked also. Must be the weather. I will keep trying. Trust me, when I finally hit it big, everyone will know.

I'll get me a pop-r and give it a try tomorrow and I will let you know how it worked.

Thanks for the advice. I went back out to the Westside industrial park and tried Texas rigged worms. No luck there either. I really like to stick with the soft baits rather than lures. I have braided line since my pole was set up for fishing in weeds. Back in Georgia I would cast over 10 feet of weeds to fish a hole and have to drag the bass back through the weeds. I prefer to put on a high quality worm hook and flip a weightless trick worm. I can put a couple of bags in my pockets with pliers and knife and go. No need to carry a tackle box. I have some rooster tails. How are spinners and crank-baits out here? The ponds at the industrial park are all really wide open water.

Hi there, I moved to Jacksonville in July. I never knew where to fish till I found this thread. I live only 5 minutes from the Westside Industrial Park. I tried numerous ponds this morning but no luck at all; I did not get one bite. I know that all areas of the country respond to different techniques. What have you found to be successful out here? I was fishing a Zoom Trick Worm (Watermelon Seed). This was my favorite tactic at Fort Stewart, GA. Somedays I would catch so many bass I would need a second bag of worms. This morning wasn't so good. Any advice would be appreciated. The ponds look like a treasure trove though. Jason
