In colder waters I've had some luck with Jigs. Put on a crawdad trailer try to get the color of the crawdad the same as the jig, and dip the claws of the soft plastic in some JJ's Magic.

The best advice I can give you is look on Google earth. That's how I found all my ponds for bank fishing, and if you don't know if its private or not drive by it and take a look. Usually if it has a name with it on Google earth or its in a park it should be public.

By the way what were you using and what part of the ponds (Heath & Cooper Creek) were you fishing?

I think out on Highway 315 in Harris county headed towards Talbotton I heard from a buddy that their is a private pond that charges $10 a head to fish in. I not sure how good the fishing is but he told me when we drove by there were several trucks out their, so i'm assuming its pretty decent. Its worth looking into...

Thanks for the advice guys! I never even thought about Google Maps....

Hello everyone! I'm new to Bass Resource and have read a lot of the articles, and learned a ton but I still cant seem to catch a bass. Now that I'm 16 I can go whenever I want and now I'm really hooked on Bass fishing ( No pun intended ).I live in Columbus, Ga and I've gone to a few local small ponds and get nothing but old leaves, yet I know a bass has to be in there, I see brim and lots of minnows right on the bank of the pond. I have gone over to Chattahoochee river but you cant hardly fish there because the only public areas to fish that I know of are nearly impossible to fish because of the current with the new White Water course. I was wondering if there is anyone who lives near me and knows some good fishing spots(bank fishing) I can try, and what and I can try to use to catch a bass. I've tried just about everything... Spinnerbaits, Topwater baits, Weighted and Non weighted Fluke worms, Trick worms, Crankbaits, Jigs... just about everything. Even if you don't live in my area, any advice or tips you have to offer would be greatly appreciated!!
