hi guys im going fishing later this week on the 31st of March 2005
im going to my uncles pond in the south

ive been before and always use a topwater lure such as : poppers, devil's horses

or live bait.

the pond has brim, shellcrackers, bluegill and a lot of huge bass.

i usually fish near the vegetation or bank

Whats a fish house if you don't mind me asking ? It sounds like you already have a plan, I would add using a worm or creature bait to your list and good luck fishing ,but the most important thing is to have fun. P N J

i would stick with artificials. its more fun IMO. anyways, fish the docks and vegitation. now the bass should be just finishing spawn, but there still could be a few slackers, so look out for beds, and fish shallow. you do catch and release right? anyways use worms(i like tiki stiks and dipstiks in redbug(chartruse tip for the dipstik) also a small booyah spinnerbait in chartruse) those work in any water clarity in my experience. but what is the water clarity of the pond? and have fun

fish houses are just 4 2x4's with a roof sitting on top of them on top of the water is where you see the roof.
and they look like little houses there's about two of them.
the fish get up under them for shade.

thanks, ill try over near the dock this time!

any tips on night fishing???????????????????

[Bassin_Dude]

JITTERBUG!!!!!!!!!!!!! in black. you can get some big big bass on a jitterbug at night. fish it around any structure. actually fish it anywhere. and also black worms that make alot of vibration, and add scent to them. basically, you want something that is gunna make alot of vibration in the water. and alot of noise. but IMO a jitterbug in black is the way to go. and get the biggest jitterbug, not the jointed tho, its not to good IMO. good luck

ok

so would a black snake worm with red sparkles work

i got some the other day i just haven't tried them

their that GULP brand

what way should i hook it and how much weight?

[Bassin_Dude]

ya, they will work, but does it have any vibration to it? what i mean is does it have a tail on it like u tail or something. best bet is to use lizards, or as stated the jitterbug. if you are going to use that worm, i would wacky rig it or t-rig it both weightless.

[Bassin_Dude]

oh yeah, gulp is not the best brand to buy. you will probally find out that they will harden up. and be worthless. dont leave them on your hook or they might harden on your hook, and have fun gettin them off.

ok i got some lizards too

havent ever used them though but they'll work?

ok i'll try it

ok cool weightless

wacky and t rig ok gotcha thanks for all the help

[Bassin_Dude]

lizards are great. they will work.
