I was fishing at this extremely tough pond again. I threw weightless flukes and worms today, and 0 bites. Most of the fish in the pond are really spooky, they tend to swim away immediately when they feel the vibration of the line when im jerking it. They dont really bite much lures either. I just started fishing this pond a month ago and 90% of the fish i caught in this pond were on their beds. The only time i could catch them easily. I used to not belief in spinnerbaits because they look nothing like baitfish or anything the bass eats. but i got it because i heard of its reputation, and its amazing! It triggers strike from the bass when most other lure fails! A couple of bass hit the lure hard. 1 of them missed and i lost the other when i tried to wash him for a picture!! but never the less, i spotted a big 3 pounder on her bed and i threw flukes/worms. I couldnt get a strike out of her. Even when i rested the lure on its eggs for 30 second! So i gave up, switched to a spinner bait again, to look for active bass. something told me to try again, so i threw the spinnerbait and swam it past the 3 pound female and she tried to eat it but missed so the hook accidentally went through her nose but she still put up a pretty good fight on my 8lb test. I love spinner baits now and im gonna get 4 more of them the next time i go out. Hopefully i'll win my school's talent contest tommorrow, because the grand prize is $200!! i could use some money for spinnerbaits and a new reel

corrections... its 3.5 lb!!!

Hey man nice fish and welcome to the spinnerbait obsession! But, a spinnerbait actually is made to resemble a bait fish. The blades add vibration and flash in the water like a baitfish would.

Alot of baits out there do not look like what a bass would eat but doesn't mean they won't strike it.

Good job!

You not only broke the ice, you landed a real nice chunk

Nice one an congrats

Nice job, I'm surprised a spawning bass went for a moving bait as opposed to something that sits in its bed like a fluke but fishing is always full of surprises. Go get another one!
