Sorry big little. Didn’t mean to call you dink. Just realized what that means... haha

Thanks Dink. Will give it a try. I see you fish Sutton, you in the ILM area? I have blanked there the 3 or 4 times I’ve had my boat out there so far this year

No personal experience with the Mojo series, but I have added two spinning rods lately and did a bunch of research before buying. Ended up with a 7’ Dobyns Colt ML-F for drop shot / grubs and a Fury 7’ M-F for weightless worms / senkos. What lead me to these choices was that the M performs better if the hook needs to come through plastic and the ML is great for open hooks. Have caught several fish on both and couldn’t be happier with power / action choices. Hope this helps a little. Good luck

Thanks for all the replies so far. As far as depth goes, ponds are maybe 6’ max with heavy snot grass over sand. No real structure to speak of so mostly fishing weed edges and the few deeper holes and channels I have found. I’ve tried jigs and it wasn’t worth the effort due to the muck. Was thinking of giving the lipless a try but figured I should wait until the fish are more active? Seem to only bite super slow finesse now but weather is warming so I’m hoping they fire up. Got into bass fishing hard in the last year. Went from one med spinning rig on the bank to 10 combos and a boat! Still skunked on the boat, but haven’t gotten out much but that will change. I wanted to ask about expectations since I was catching 1-2 fish per trip last year on just a weightless senko and very little experience (did manage a few 4 and 5’s) Now fishing same ponds with more experience and better gear, I am expecting to up it to 3-4 per trip. I realize there are so many factors that affect this, and no one can predict catching. Just wanted to see what others typically catch to manage my own expectations.

I’ve been bank fishing pretty hard through the winter here in NC. Mostly just in neighborhood retention ponds for an hour or two a trip. Been having some luck on drop shot and weightless worms both TR & wacky rigged but feel like I should be catching more than 1 or 2 per day. Mostly dinks up to a pound fish. I’ve seen bigger fish but cannot seem to get them to bite. Question is, am I being unrealistic in feeling like I should be catching more than 1 or 2? I know it’s relative, but wanted to gauge what y’all feel is a good bank fishing outing.

Been reading the forum for months and finally decided to take the plunge. I’ve been fishing all my life including commercially but really got bit by the bass bug in the last year. Started out by taking my boy to the local retention ponds during lockdown just for something to do and less than a year later, I have a relative arsenal of rods and even got a boat! Still mostly pond fishing but looking forward to the bite picking up in the next few weeks. I cannot tell everyone here how valuable this forum has been in my fishing journey so far. Love Glenn’s videos and all the knowledge the members share. Hoping I can contribute what little I’ve learned to help anyone else.
