Fish Behavior In A Small Pond

Featured Replies

Hey guys, recently ive been fishing a small pond, about an acre in size and have noticed something i thought was kind of strange. When I first started fishing there, they wouldn't hit anything but senkos. (believe me, i tried everything else) The next time i went back, they wouldnt touch em so i used a brown trickworm and caught one fish. After the one fish (same day) they wouldnt touch any color trickworm again. Tried a craw type plastic (cant remember the brand :dazed-7: ) and first cast i caught another fish. this continues with different baits everytime i go. I make sure i fish all around the pond before switching baits and have never caught the same fish twice so i dont think its the fish getting used to the bait. Anybody ever seen anything like this?

How often do you go? It could be that they are moving onto a different type of forage as the seasons progress, so they won't hit what they aren't eating. Or they are communicating with each other, in which case you need to find a new pond..
