Cursed Pond

I fish this 5 acre pond quiet often its really shallow deepest part probably 7 feet its fool of underwater grasses everywhere i mean u can barely let the trolling motor down without gettin tangled up. Ive caught two ten pound bass outta there on topwater but the thing is i cant catch fish consistantly. You cant use crank baits too shallow and too weedy and ive tried all kinds of plastics including senkos but none seem to produce more than 1 or 2 fish. Any explanations or lure suggestions?

Swim a junebug u tail worm without a weight slowly over the grass, i have found this very productive when pond fishin is tough.

I fish a pond almost exactly similar to that one. I use a 6 inch berkly power worm in a motor oil or electric blue color. Black w/ red flakes would probably work as well. If a 6 inch isn't cutting it try a 8 or 10 incher.

if you've managed to catch 2 10 pounders
QUIT YOUR *****IN! Most people fish a lifetime without landing one. Just because you can't catch them consistantly doesn't mean anything. The times we fish and the times fish feed don't always synch up together and as a result, you'll go home skunked, but anybody that has managed to pull a 10 pound hawg out of any body of water is doing something right.

Yeah really

how much grass is in there? Would a fluke be able to make a natural free fall without being tangled in weeds? If so, try a fluke at the edges of the weeds. If its too thick for that, take a rake with ya next time, go around and rake out 5-10 "holes" in the grass, depending how much time you've got. MAke the holes 1-2 feet in diameter. Once you're all done, go back to the first hole you made and start dropping a worm or fluke in there. Play around with different retrieves, colors, plastics, etc. If you can't get any bites, go to the next one and just keep making your rounds to all the "holes". You'll start catching dinner.

even if there are places to fish, I'd still rake some holes in the thicker spots and fish em.

Ryan,
Try the mann's minus 1 .It go's under the water about 2 to 3 inches .It will maybe give them something they have never seen. Blk and chrome is a great color.
Plus you can ride the tops of the weeds with that bait,
there is alot of bb's in the bait to make plenty of noise
so it should call them to the dinner table....lol
Goodluck
Ps if I could ever catch a 10 pounder.....I would need a nerve pill,8 beers and Led Zepplin to calm me down.lol
