So yesterday was my first out to my 20 acre pond honey hole. I was fishing from shore (trailer isn't plated yet) and had a blast! I started somewhere around 6 and started with a small rapala minnow so that i could work it slow. I was fishing into the wind guessing that the bass would be waiting for smaller forage to float that way. They wanted nothing to do with that minnow. So I grabbed my cranking set up and put on a KVD square bill 1.5... that was the game changer. I was able to work it slow enough, and their fat so it looked like a nice meal. I walked maybe 20 yards of shore within an hour and a half and was able to catch 8 largemouth all within the 3-4 possible 5 pound range. So needless to say i had a good time. And saturday me, my dad, and uncle are going out to Story Lake to do some crappie fishing. But you know, might bring along the cranking set up w/ KVD 1.5 and do a little bass fishing!

Sounds like fun, good luck on Story lake as well
