Bass during this time of year.

singerloo · 05-09-05, 01:49 AM

Went to a friend's pond. The water was clear and it's a pretty big pond. I could see about 20 bedding sunfish in the shallows, but that's not what I was looking for. Saw a really small bass and one about a pound or so, hanging around the sunfish beds.
I used live shiners, plastic worms, real worms,a popper, and a minnow plug, but still couldn't catch a bass.

How do you old experienced fishermen fool the bass this time of year, when the bluegill are spawinig?

the bass are probally comeing close to a pre spawn pattern. so they should be getting in the shallows looking for spawning areas.also, they will go on a feeding frenzy, so you should be able to catch them fairly easy.
