We caught 14 bass this evening, at our local pond.  None of them were real big, about 15 " for the biggest

ones, but we had fun. My 10 year old daughter caught one of the 15's on a Fat Ika. In fact, I caught all 6

of mine on a Fat Ika. The others were all caught on plastic as well. Our pond is so choked with weeds and moss that spinners are useless, so we started pitching plastic to the non weed infested areas.  All were caught close to shore, pitching parallel between the bank and the weed line.

    My ponds the same way. we have way to many weeds and not enough open water. so i switched to plastics a while ago, and now even at other people's ponds and lakes i still use predoninatley plastics. i just feel confident with them. By the way congrats on a great day.
