Small Farm Ponds

[Scott]

Does anybody have any tips for fishing small acred farm ponds this time of year? thanx

Go for the shollaws.I'd stick to my plastics. They seem to do better in ponds for me. You can work them in all depths and slow enough to catch every part of the pond. I'd try a 4-5 inch worm and if that doesn't work maybe go to a tube. If all else fails go for your fluke. It's realistic and you might get some bites if you drag them thruogh any beds. Is the water clearor stain? Thats where I'd take in thought what colors to use. All together weightless worms work good in ponds.

I like a tube, spinnerbait, shallow crank, and a weightless worm is a good choice to.

I have been having good luck throwing into the moss with a weightless Texas-rigged lizard over the last couple of weekends. Dragging the lizard across the moss has resulted in big strikes either through the slop or just as the bait hits the open water. I have also been fishing it faster than I usually do. The fish seem to be ignoring it when fished slow.

Jointed crankbaits work the best for me.

spinner baits or even maybe if there are alot of big bass a live worm
