So I noticed that whenever I use a topwater (Popper or frog), I start with a slow retrieve and end up speeding it up after a couple of pops. I think it's cause of my impatience so I've been trying to not do that. But what are your opinions? Is it something I should or shouldn't try to do? I should be consistent for that one, whole retrieve? Basically, after casting, I'd wait [5 sec] pop [5 sec] pop [5 sec] pop [2 sec] pop [2 sec] etc.

Wow. I see. Thank you for the info <3 So I've caught about 6 bass from the pond so far and they've all been between 1.5 to 2 lbs. They all looked relatively healthy. Definitely not too skinny. But I've yet to catch a small one from there. Also, how often/for how long should I give them a rest period? I've been trying to not fish there but it just keeps pulling me in...

My guess would be like 50? And maybe 200 small bass? I actually have no idea

I see. Thanks for the response. So how long did you use a lure for before they began to stop hitting it? Also, do you think it's better to keep switching my lures up or use one type until they stop hitting and then change?

Hey all, So I've recently started to fish at a private lake for 5 days where I've been able to catch bass pretty easily However, I'm worried about over pressuring the lake. It's maybe 1.5 acres and I've been fishing for maybe an hour or 2 a day (2-3 bass). Do you guys think it's possible for a single person to over pressure a small lake? I'm wondering if it's necessary to take day breaks every now and then.
