Smith Lake report?

For frog fishing I suggest just focus on feeling the bait when a fish takes it. There's lots of times fish will try to injure or kill the frog before they eat it and they won't take the frog down, but bigger ones like to go ahead and eat it. Just watch your frog very closely. If it disappears, reel slack and jack'm.

Yeah I don't have temp. But The water is cold. I'll feel of it with my hands a lot and is guess it's in mid to low 50s.

No perch. There is catfish, grass carp, brim, crappie, and bass.

Hmm. Guess I could have fished it. I did a little bit went back over and didn't see it

Well it don't look like a small school to me. Do minnows school like that. I think they are too tight of a school for bass or something. I may be wrong tho

In a pond max depth of 21 ft. No shad in pond. http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb410/karson191/A5EE03C4-6AA5-464A-BC27-76DD69AB5DB5_zps9nu0hbft.jpg

Oh ok

How do you put a pic on here

yeah i saw that before i guess 15 or 20 lb mono or fluro would be better

Just try lob casting the bait and not tryin to throw it real hard

I say get a medium or medium heavy crankin rod. I have a mh duckett ghost and I can throw what ever crankbaits I want on it. I always just use 12 lb mono. U could use 10 lb too. Fluro is good for cranks too

Is that rod good for a 8" hudd too? And what else could I do with the rod. I was planning on using bout 40 lb braid too

that does look pretty good

So im thinking about getting a rod to start using medium sized a-rigs and medium sized swimbaits like a 6" huddleston or the huddgill. I want one for a cheap price too

Amen!

post some pics of some big fish you have seen on your fishfinder. catfish, carp, etc.

nothing changes except for going hunting too.

i caught my pb this past late summer. It was 6 1/2 lbs and 22" long. Had a huge mouth, i put my hand in it and had space around my hand. I caught it on 6 lb mono with a 5" zoom lizard with a tiny 2/0 thin wire hook. good fight!

ive caught a good bit on an x-rap 1/4 oz. and a green pumpkin trick worm t rigged. What about small hard body swimbaits, like 2-4 inches

So swimbaits work good for catching big bass in ponds

mid/northwest Alabama; I know channel and the bigger ones might be something different, maybe blue, dont know

The deepest part of the pond is about 25-27 ft. There is also a dam underwater that separates what used to be two separate ponds, but ever since I've known it, it has been one big pond. There is one bank that is a rock wall and has some fallen trees in the water. I have been catching them shallow, and also paralleling that wall, but before too long they will be deep. Another thing, I know there are some big catfish in the pond, there have been 30 lbers caught out of it. How can I catch them.

The pond I fish is a pretty good size one. I recently got a boat and have been using it there. It's just a little two man boat. I'm gonna put a old fish finder on it this weekend. So my question is, how do I find "offshore structure" in a pond and how about the fish on the old fish finder. It's a lowrance. And where will the fish be. I don't know for sure but the water temp is between 55 and 60 probably. And when it gets winter where will they go.

What is the countdown on those spybaits? 1 foot per second?
