Fishing Rod Rack

rapelas are good

Yea worms seem to always catch something more then others. You can buy some scent if yours have lost theres

Rattle traps…..are all ya need to know.

Most ponds are shallow and the fish feed primarily off fall in supply of food. As a result they watch the edges. do not approach the pond fish the sides from 20 feet away by castiing to the edge, even bounciing plastic baits on the edge and lettiing them barely fall over the edge into the water. I would use lizards and larger grubs and worms browns oranges and true nightcrawler copies should work well. Cast and then let it sit, jiggle your rod trying to jiggle the bait slightly. it gives the baits a struggling to recover froom the fall into the water look and is irresistable to bass. cast to five spots four to five feet from each other cast and then if no luck, move 30 feet over to the side. Don’t have the sun at your back.

Artie has some good advice. (Thumbs up! Great answer Artie.)

Usually ponds don’t/can’t support a huge “forage base” for Bass.

For that reason, Bass and pond gamefish tend to feed on a variety of forage including:

1. Frogs & Salamanders
2. Insects
3. Crawdads
4. baby Turltes & Lizzards
5. Snakes
6. Minnows and baby Bluegill

Also, the average forage-base in a pond is ussually “smaller” than in a lake or River.

Plastic “Grubs” on a 1/4 OZ Jig and plastic curly-tailed Worms (6-8″ size) rigged “Texas Style” would probably be your “best bet” for catching your pond fish.

Berkley Powerworms, Senko’s, Culprit, Zoom, being some of the better brands of plastic worms. Make sure to use “natural looking” colors.

And take Arties advice. Casting “down the shore” VS “out into the pond” would be a better bet. Bass tend to cruise the outer edges of a pond.

Hope this helps? Good fishing!
