Pond Fishing Today

Featured Replies

I fished a sweet little pond today that I got permission to fish and I caught a total of 20 fish. The top five fish went 14lbs 10ozs. The only bite I could get going today though was on Manns -1 in a red crawfish color/pattern and a Cavitron buzzbait in ghost minnow color. The biggest bass went 4lbs 10ozs and I caught it on the buzzbait. She was a lot of fun because the water was clear and I got to watch her attack and then inhale the buzzbait. I set the hook and had one fun time trying to land her watching her run back and forth across the pond in the clear water. I had to re-tune the buzzbait after catching her as she bent it up a bit. After I let her go I caught another fish on the next cast on the same buzzbait, I think it was on steriods.

Here is the big bass of the day.

Outstanding!

Good report and pics.

When are you headed to BPS?

Sam, I most likely will not be back at BPS until next month.  We do need to hook up and fish one day soon though.  

I can sympathize about the panfish, I don't know how many of them we caught on 4 and 5" (!) Yum dingers when fishing the Shenandoah. The red breast (or red ear, I forget) sunfish we were catching had mouths much more like a crappie or small bass than a typical bluegill, so, they could get these larger baits in their maws.

Oh yeah, and nice bass too....

Nice Ron. I never figured a sunfish could get hooked on a big hook like a buzzbait

Nice fish Ron, good to know the fall bite is decent around here. Havent been out in a while.

WTG Ron, Gotcha one of those little warriors there, didn't you.....just think if those guys got to be 8 or 10 lbs...We would change our gear choices a bit.   ;D

Do you ever use a chunk/trailer on your buzzbaits?  Just curious bc I started trying to fish them more often, and I always see pics of you with buzzbait fish.  :)

I love the Cavitron buzzbait, it has been one of my best performers this year.  I have not used a trailer with them but I do not see why you couldn't if you want.

Rondef, you and me REPRESENT THE CAVITRON
