I was fishing this small pond on base the other day and I have a few questions about it.

1) if there were baby large mouth then there are bigger large mouth right?

2)there is a really thick weed bed around the edge of the pond and from what i could tell the weeds take over the whole pond, all the way through the middle. Whats the best way to fish through such thick weeds?

    1.  Yes, there may not be to many big ones but there should be a few.

    2.  Probably a frog over top of the weeds.

Yep, weedless topwaters are good, as are soft plastics dropped into weed holes and edges. If some of the weeds are submerged a spinnerbait or shallow crankbait over the tops should also be good if you can get away with using them.

Ya, there should be bigger bass there too! I'm not sure how many, but they should be there!

One pond I fish has lots of small bass, most of them outa there are not much bigger than 12 inches, but I've pulled a 6lber, and a 3lber out there in the past.

And how to fish the weeds, it really depends what kind of weeds. If it's hydrilla or something like it, it is probably taken over. The stuff can be pretty hard to fish at first, but after you figure it out, it can hold has so good fishing! In the spring time, after it's died off from the winter, I love throwing a spinnerbait or chatterbait over top of them submerged stuff. You can also try a 1/4oz or less lipless crank bait over it and ripping it out of it when it gets a little bait. Or a shallow diver like some thing like a baby mann's -1. In the summer, when it gets thicker and matted, I like throwing a hollow body frog over it.

I also like to finesse it around there too! weightless worm like trick worms, senkos, and the like worked around and in the stuff with a spinning reel equipped with 20lb braid. This works summer or spring.

<<< That bass in my avatar was caught in a lake that had thick matted hydrilla through out.

Have fun fishing, hook 'em hard!

I was walking over to fish the pond today when the game warden pulled up. I was kinda excited about because I wanted to ask them a few questions about the pond and a few others. They told me my fishing license wasnt the right one, and if i wanted to fish that pond I had to buy another fishing license for $20. I'm not sure why my $15 one wasnt good enough for this small pond, but i guess theres not much i can do about it other than wait till payday and and pay for another license.

Maryland just lost major cool points. >

I would fish a frog over the top also. A weightless trickworm twitched over the grass should do well.

This sort of intrigued me, so I went to the site to see what I could find. It looks like you may have a tidal license that allows you to fish Chesapeake Bay and tributaries, but you need a non-tidal license for freshwater. At any rate, I'm sorry you have to shell out more money.

"Baby" LMB don't necessarily mean larger LMB.  First of all, are you confident that what you are seeing are fingerlings and not just stunted bass?  Secondly, as you've fished it, what numbers and sizes are you bringing to the boat?  This would be an obvious indication about what is in the pond.  If all you're bringing to the boat are little bass every time, there's a good chance you have too many small bass competing for the same forage, restricting their size.  If this is the case, start harvesting the smaller bass, under 15", and let the larger ones go (if you are catching and large ones).
