Question About Pond

I want to try a wacky rig

 

Do you think the little fish would go after that as much(it like a 7-9 inch worm)

Probably, those little fish are ambitious. I had a 5-inch bass eat my 5-inch senko earlier this year. 

 

I didn't post a picture of it....you'd all get jealous of it's massive size!  :grin:

That's a pretty place. Try larger lures to see if you can cull the smaller ones. The problem with a hole that size is they're usually overstocked with bass under a pound. But they're hungry and dumb because they outnumber the bait. If it's alright with the owner, someone should take as many as they can for a while to thin the herd. Small bass from clean water are good eating.

The thing is, this pond was NEVER stocked....

At some point someone had to put a few bass in there, cause they sure didn't walk there. Maybe the man that created the pond just isn't sure what it was stocked with. I know of some guys that will. At h fish from a local lake and bring them back and release them in a few of the ponds they fish..

I am going to be there tomorrow evening, and don't know how it will go...

 

I will probably get there about 4 in the afternoon and stay till about 9...

 

It is suppose to be hot that day, so even with all the tips you gave me, is there any more?

 

Thanks!

P.S. The water is really clear

I would be pitching/casting t rigged beavers and jigs into the thickest stuff there.

Also I would be throwing a 68 special weedless Hudd. Even if they don't bite it, you're likely to see a big girl follow it up, simultaneously giving away her hiding spot.

Sadly, I have no hudds....

 

They are to expensive :(

 

Would a smaller swimbait work?

 

I want to get some sometime!

 

~Kevin

I'm sure a smaller swimbait could work, but it doesn't have the drawing power of a Hudd to get followers.

Maybe I will get a hudd when the next sale is...
