thanks for all the advice im gonna hit it tomorrow from about 2 until dark

it is a wildlife refuge i think. but the park around the pond is abandoned. i gain access from my university down atv trails. to day i tried some small poppers and some top water lures in the shallows near the pads and in the pads didnt get much only fished an hour, alot of sunfish .

what should i use on these spots???? advice im new to bass fishing and have just been using jigs and lizards and some spinners and poppers

river pic

the first pic is of a pond, i dont think many if any people fish here i found it in the middle of woods on google maps and a atv trail then led to it, the pic shows one end the other end is more open up with less lily pads in the middle and there are tons of little branch of inlets. the second is of a river that is about 30 feet wide and maybe 6-8 feet deep? not really sure whats in the river i saw bluegill like crazy spawning in the pond

i'm new to fishing specifically for bass so i am gonna go with 4.5lbs, one time i had a 4 -6 lb smallmouth in the boundry waters my dad guessed the weight but he broke the line.

how many people on this site eat what they catch occasionally? i dont think i have ever eaten bass but plenty of blugill crappie northern and walleye
