Agree with Brian Needham, most ponds especially ones out in the open are pounded on a regular basis. My favorite ponds are also MANY others favorite ponds and I have noticed a considerable difference. Also as others have mentioned, temperature plays a big role in small bodies of water and although the fish usually tolerate temp changes better in ponds they are still bass and act accordingly going deeper during the heat of the day. The best I have received on this subject (from many on this board) try fishing at night.......worked for me.

Thanks all!!

Thanks, he was excited for sure........all he has talked about. Glad to here others are showing kids wacky rig, really is a simple technique and is very effective as we all know. And I know you had to be excited for the little girl, chalk that one up to the teacher

95% of the time I use Rage Craws on mine......great action on them!

Thanks all! AK the one in the red shirt caught her.

I believe u r right and gr8outdoorz. And yeah would be cool to get together, we are transplants from NC so I fly solo majority of the time, it would be nice to have some local knowledge and fellow pond hoppers

Jeff, Thanks! I have been trolling forums for a while now, it's because of you, Road Warrior, and the other local members I found this spot and others to take them. This one was caught at the daycare pond.... One guy in particular mentioned this pond I just can't recall his name right now. And yes I of course return them to fight another day

Since around a year or so ago we have been fishing the traditional "kid" friendly way with a bobber and worm, and we have certainly had some success and fun doing so. Well the past few times we have been trying lures with them, twin tail grub, beetle spin, and anything else they can just reel......well it worked great and they landed quite a few little guys. Well today I was thinking of something they could use that would be fairly user friendly, and thought I would tie on a wacky rig senko with a split shot a foot or so up the line, I mean no offense to any anglers out there but it certainly does not take a lot of skill to land them that way and sure enough my son hooked into this girl (they caught several today). Anyway moral of the story is kids can use a lot the same techniques we over complicate (myself included) and have great results, bobber fishing is always a great place to start and a ton of fun but is not the only way for our kids to have a good time.
