Jig and Pig

[rapalaman]

hey i have been fishing a small pond that is real close to my house. im 15 and do not have a car yet so i walk... haha....but i have been sight fishing and catching 1 to 2 lb bass and one 3 lb. but i know there are bigger bass in the pond but i cant catch or see them ant tips.... but i have caught like 15 or so bass on a 1/2 oz black and blue jig with a blue pig trailer. but i need tips on how to catch the BIG BOY?!?!

try deep water.

Fish just a little deeper from where you are getting the smaller ones or maybe the big females have not moved onto the nests yet

[Bassin_Dude]

fishie, im sure they have moved unto the nests by now...not many oplaces havnt.....there is no way they could still be in pre spawn.....so he is most likely facing post spawn conditions. so deep structure/cover near spawning flats is where i would fish.

[FishinMommy]

Well if you are way up north they could still be holding off

I'd sneak out of the house about 4 a.m. and fish till about 7 with live bait if you want the big one...
Your chances for a big fish may improve in low light conditions....only one way to find out isn't there......

[Bassin_Dude]

according to rob up in canada they are spawning right now...but that is way up there.

P man, Just keep at it, like Jb said, fish early and late in the days, and on overcast or rainy days, high wind days, the bass will move shallower than normal. I hope this helps.P N J
