I am needing to figure out a lure and lure color to use in my 2 acre farm pond. I have caught descent fish out of it on rare occasions, so I know that they are in there. I have caught 2 five pound bass out of it, but there is no consistency... The pond conditions are: Very muddy water, very shallow (deepest part is about 7 ft., but most is more like 3.5 ft or less), boulders in deep part, no trees, no vegetation growing. So, please help me I am in desperate need of any advice or tips that anyone has to offer!!!

why not try banging a crank of the rocks in the deep part?

i fish a very similar area, with no trees, vegetation but rocks and boulders. Go deep, good luck 8-)

the only thing is that there are only a couple of these boulders and i keep finding myself downsizing and casting close to the bank.... but anyways what should i throw deep and how big?

If the water is muddy I don't think deep is going to be the ticket. IMHO you need to fish something shallow. I would try a single colorado bladed spinnerbait, a baby 1- (mid 1- or the big 1- would be good as well) or other similar crankbait that runs shallow and makes a lot of noise. You can probably catch fish both shallow and deep but in muddy water the active fish are more than likely going to be shallow IMO. Another thing to consider is if its always muddy they might even like a buzzbait or chug bug early and late. Because the lake is small you should be able to fish lots of things and time on the water will help you figure out what actually works there.

try a yum buzz frog on top.  if you get no takers, try fishing it a few inches under the surface.  If you still get no takers, thats when you need to really break down the lake, it is yours after all.  What could these fish be feeding on?  Lotsa rocks?  I say crawfish.  If thats the case try a black/blue jig with a Paca Craw trailer.  When all else fails throw a rattletrap.  Few people will argue that they are one of the most effective baits in a variety of conditions.

Hey, Blackrose, I grew up in Southeast Missouri.  Welcome.  

You should be able to try every option you can think of in a day or two on a 2 acre pond; however, if your deepest water is 7 feet and there isn't much of it, your pond needs some kind of moving flow to feed it such as a creek or a spring, and/or it needs some vegetation.  Otherwise, I think you're going to have an oxygen problem in that pond during the hottest months of summer.  If there is no flow I wouldn't expect to find many bass there.  

Having said that, if, indeed the pond does sustain a population of fish, in these hot months I'd be fishing the deepest part first, even if it is muddy.  Though bass tend to be shallower and tighter to cover in muddy water, you don't have much cover and seven feet isn't very deep.  Generally speaking, the 3 - 4 foot depths that cover most of the pond are going to be very hot, and the bass may only be there when feeding.  

As for lures and colors, try chartreuse or darker-colored spinnerbaits with at least one copper or darker colored colorado blade, rattlin lures like Rat-l-traps, dark jig and craw trailers with rattles, t-rigged dark worms, plastic craw lures, or drag a carolina rig through the boulders.  Fish the boulders in the deep water thoroughly.  Sound and a good silhouette in muddy water are generally what works.  I say generally because bass don't read books or forums.  Sometimes the least likely lure can be the ticket.

Sounds exactly like my honey hole.  No trees, rocky bottom.  I bet there are some hawgs in that muddy water.  You'll only need a handful of lures to whack 'em.  T-rig some ribbontail worms (purple, 10") drag them back to the bank and hop them every once in a while, also black & blue jigs with big trailers worked the same way.  Pop'rs with white bellies and buzzbaits will cover the top for you.  Also try some shallow diving crankbaits (0'-4'max) in the oxbow color pattern (chartreuse/blue back).  I rarely throw spinnerbaits in the pond but, I have caught a few fish that way.

Fishing early in the am and in the evening will be the best times.  My honey hole becomes a dead pond around 10am but, from 5a-10a its rockin'.  

You may want to go bigger instead of downsizing.  Larger profile baits will be seen easier in the muddy water and they'll attract bigger fish.

When all else fails go buy a couple dozen minnows.  Good Luck!
