The bass in my neighbor's pond are finally eating plastics (that aren't drop shots). I caught 8 in about 2 hours this evening on a texas rigged u-tale worm, should have caught more but the fish aren't eating the bait very well, I missed few fish even after 30 seconds of "letting them eat". All of my fish were in 3 feet of water or less, either on brush piles or within 3 feet of the bank. I saw a few bass chasing and eating bluegill up against the bank, but not like they were yesterday (going to this pond is usually a part of my after school routine).

nice bro. sounds like they're spawning now. Try using a bluegill color reaction bait or swimbait. They usually hit it harder then the normal plastics.

Trust me they definitely aren't on beds yet, these fish were still in schools, and they don't swim 10 yards with a bait in their mouth to get it away from a bed. The spawn should be close though, and I'm gonna fish for all of them except the "big girl"...a 24"er that gets a free pass when they are on beds. I want those genetics to get passed on
