Ok so I fish in a little pond in my neighborhood and all I can catch there are Bluegill and Largemouth Bass. However I keep hearing that there are Smallmouth Bass in there but I have caught lots of bass there and they're all Largemouth. So I was wondering where they could be hiding and what lure they take. I commonly use bucktail jigs and poppers there and I'd imagine I'd catch some smallmouth by now. The most common theory to me is that since there is a smaller lake in my community as well as the one I fish in that they are stocked down there and largemouth are in the one I fish in. So my question is where are the Smallmouth and how do I catch them?

Ok so I have a little retention pond in my community and I heard they stocked grass carp in there in March to control the weeds. It only has Bluegill and Largemouth Bass in it so I was very happy to hear this and I really want to catch them. But I know that it will take a good while for them to grow large enough to bite my hook. So the question is how long will it be until I can go try to catch one? Also it would help to know what bait they take. I'm pretty sure chumming corn is the best method but I'm not sure.
