Pond stopped hitting

Featured Replies

I fish a small pond in New York I catch two to three Pounders one per day

Water got very warm

I have not caught a fish in my last 10 times do I just wait it out to the Fall????

I'd look for a new pond.

I have read that some seaweed makes bass lose there appetite. 

I would like to know how long does this last??

I would think probably  Fall when water temp lowers???

Back in July when the water got warm here the bass buried themselves in the vegetation, and wouldn't come out.  I was having to work a plastic worm or a senko along the weed edge to get bites.

My mornings are getting cool here How much longer  do you think before 

they come out of weeds????

Not sure what you mean by come out of the weeds but for the small shallow southern MA Berkshire ponds I noticed today the weed cover is shrinking, a lot of the surface slop has sunk. I didn't notice any difference in where I was catching bass, along and above submerged weeds, and the edges of lily pads. It is getting easier without all the floating stuff.

It's crazy I averaged one nice Bass per day since Spring. Weeds came and I haven't had even a hit in 3 weeks??

It really sounds like you should try a different pond. Bass definitely don't lose their appetite in the weeds; they hide in the weeds to ambush their prey. Always good to fish the weeds.

I fished several small ponds mid September, using Senkos and other soft baits. Caught a lot but only in the 1 to 2 # range. Fished both in the weed beds and along side.
