Hi Folks,

 

There's a private pond I can fish; it has large bass in it and it would be pretty easy to get a new PB bass out of it.

 

Here's my problem:  It's stocked.  I'm not sure when the last time was it was stocked, but it's been stocked and it's well managed.  Almost no fishing pressure either.

 

I can't get out of my mind that fishing a private, non-pressured, stocked pond with excellent cover etc would be cheating.

 

Thoughts?

Be thankful you've gotten another spot to fish. A lot of people are limited to one spot only. As far as a pb? If you caught a 5pd, how do you know there not a 6,7,8th in there? Fish it when and while you can,good luck friend.

Bud I will say this.... While it does take some know how to catch a fish and little in your situation.... of you know your going to catch fish... Use this time to use some lures you haven't tried and gain some confidence in them.....I did this when learning jigs..... I drove the interstate and saw farm ponds and asked permission. I gained confidence in not only Jigs but swim jigs, chatterbaits and topwater other then my buzzbait.
