A 5acre pond I've been fishing recently has a lot of this patchy milfoil like stuff in it. Some spots there's more than others but usually it's lined up along the bank and starts to recede the deeper you get out. So far my only luck I've had in this stuff is fishing spinnerbaits and occasionally a texas rig that comes through it pretty well. Since it's fall what should I be throwing around this grass? Also does anyone know what type of grass this is? Is it milfoil?

My phone was on selfie mode hahaha

Haven't posted here in a awhile. I was going to last Tuesday while I had the day off for my birthday but I got too busy with other stuff and forgot so here we go, so far early fall has been great to me here in New Jersey. Caught some nice size fish including a 4lber (first fish) on my final boat weekend before the lake closed for the season my final lake fish was a cool looking bass that had a weird spine and only one eye! Also caught some chubby dinks at my pond on spinnerbaits.
-
Not over for me until November but so far from fishing the bank and on a boat with no fish finder I caught about 135 bass including a bunch of 4+lbers
-
That's a deadly combo, if A-Jay gets a hold of some mega smallmouth it's game over for everyone else lol.

Bass fishing is very expensive these days. To get into professional tournament fishing these days you need to be wealthy. To have a chance to compete you need to be wealthy. If you can't have 5k worth of electronics on a boat you won't have a chance at all.

He's not wrong about livescope though.

With the fall approaching do you guys still throw summertime trailers that have a lot of action like rage craws etc or are you guys beginning to switch it up to more beaver style trailers? Does it even matter what style of trailer do you use in the fall?
-
yoga pants california craw and coppertruse all work great for me. I even use junebug in dirty water.

Ya I seem to do really well in the middle or later half of august. we had one weekend here last month where it got really cool with overcast rainy/windy conditions and the fish went crazy, I probably caught like a 11lb bag if we were fishing in a tournament, the water was warmer than the air and the fish turned on.
-
I am ready for fall, like others have said in here the summer heat can get to you after awhile. Peak summer fishing for me was June to July. Not hating on august because I had some great days this past August but up here in the North East peak fall bass fishing is from Mid September to mid october. I am looking forward to those prime cool air spinnerbait conditions in october.

This weekend was epic. Plenty of big fish including this 4.5LBS hog. Made my weekend and most fish were caught on a mixture of black ribbontails by Berkley and swimjigs.
-
If I'm fishing ponds at night or during the day usually 2 or 3 hours. If I'm on my boat I'm out there 4 or 5 maybe even 6 if the bites hot.
-
These two weight sizes are my go to for texas rigs. I throw tungsten not lead but I find myself constantly switching between the two at times. I don't use 3/8oz or bigger weights because I don't have extremely heavy cover in my neck of the woods. Do you guys use 1/4oz or 3/16oz more for your texas rigs and do the fish really notice a difference between the two?
-
Did you rig the grass pig upside down or did you have the paddletail correctly placed like a swimjig
-
How many of you guys throw paddletails on bladed jigs? I used to cut off a swimin dinger or swim senko and hooked it upside down so the bait wouldn't rise. Compared to the traditional zako style trailers I noticed the action is much more erratic and the bait darts more. Does that have a overall effect on getting more bites or is it nonsense?
-
Some of my recent adventures, first two fish are from my old pond that suffered a fish kill 3 years ago but got restocked recently. Fish aren't the biggest but are growing fast!
-
Berkley power worms in Green Pumpkin Black and the color "blue flek"
-
I fish a series of park ponds that are treated with chemicals to prevent algae blooms and the water ends up being a inch of visibility, my bass also look like a sliverish color. I think it has something to do with water clarity.

Here in New Jersey we've had constant 95+ days of air temps which are expected to cool down back to the mid 80s during this weekend. During this period we've also had pop up severe thunderstorms that have been appearing later in the day. I plan on boat fishing this weekend on my 350 acre lake with the break in temps. How do the bass react after these heatwaves? To be more specific does the bite pick up or turn off after a few days of blistering temps? Any tips for this situation?
-
Yup, just last week I had a nasty backlash on my bottom contact setup.. accidentally hit a branch mid cast... took me about 25 minutes to get it out and ended up losing 15% of my line.
-
Yeah I'm probably gonna downsize like some other guys recommended in here. It's pretty tough though without that fountain. I think the middle and deep strategy will probably do well, I heard that those smaller grubs do pretty well right about now.
-
So on my 350 acre lake I fish I can't seem to get a good pattern going when it's cloudy, I don't have a fish finder on my 10ft boat yet so fishing the bank with all the cover like docks and trees/wood work well when it's sunny out and the fish are tight to cover. But when it's cloudy I just can't seem to figure them out. Anyone have any good strategies for overcast days this time of year?
-
Yeah the pond is a fish bowl. Yesterday I caught one on a baby texas rig out deep
