Tips for Heavily pressured ponds during spawn?

Featured Replies

I've been grinding lately at this one park pond that holds bass. It lately has recieved heavy fishing pressure. I tried every slow moving bait I could think of but I'm still ending up with the skunk. Only managed to catch 2 bed fish there in the past week. Any tips? Water temps are constantly changing from 50 to 53.

Heavy pressure is the theme at present. 

All the rural lakes I fish are loaded up at daylight. 

 

At those water temps, I'd throw Jerkbaits and spinnerbaits and hope the fish hasn't bit one in last 5 minutes.

The wiseguy in me says: Choose another pond  ?  

On a more intuitive note, bass in any pond are tough to catch during the bedding season.

The protective buck is a relatively easy target, but during the 'actual' spawn, the female is fasting.

Check out what everyone is using for bait and use something different. Around here it’s spinnerbaits, t rigged plastic worms, and live bait.
