Not always...just like all the little lakes i fish none of them are mentioned in the book...however our 14" size limit applies to all waters.Private ponds  and golf course may be excluded from those set of rules(they have their own rules).  

Each state is different....just contact your wildlife center.

well i went with 2 small warmouths instead of bass lol couldnt get the small bass to bite anything before these would get to it. theyve already eaten a goldfish and beta fish so i guess they'll be cool pets

Try a small panther martin inline spinner.  I like the yellow tail ones the bass like them too.  I was fishing a small place were its never been fished with a panther martin and was catching bass after bass.  A little baitmate scent works too I like the orginal bass scent.

Wacky rig a 3" watermelon red flake senko. They're dink magnets.

Small bread the size of a pea, with a split shot 12" above the line. I recommend using Owner Circle hooks in size 1. Wacky rigged live Crawlers will also work. Chum up the area first.
