pond lures
i fish a lot of ponds and i seem to not catch as much when i get too complicated. what i mean by that is, i try some things that are new and that is not proven to me. when i fish like this i do not catch much. i have gottin to were i will fish poppers or frogs in the mornings and evenings, a 1/4 oz. willow roadrunner(my favorite lure) with a fluke trailer all day in clear or stained water, a chartruese rattle trap in muddy water, and i might flip a bungee haug around cover. i guess what i am asking is, what do ya'll always bring to a pond and when do you use them?

try a tiki stick or senko rigged texas style or whacky, they do well in ponds, also a crankbait that just goes under the surface but easy to maneuver is the Manns minus one.
Any top water will work fine too. |

Tiki stiks, jigs, spinnerbaits, zoom worms, lizards, pretty much anything you'd regularly use. i shore fish ponds a lot so i usually limit my lures to what i think best will work, which is usually jigs, tiki stiks, zoom worms, and spinnerbaits.

i went fishing at a farm pond on the 4th and had some luck with the rooster tail yellow with gold blade. If your fishing for bluegill then this is a must they rip on this thing but the blade should be gold idk why the just like it.

I have a small 1/2 acre pond in my backyard. One of my favorite lures is a Hula Popper. If you can find an older one, use it, I like the hook positions better on it. Anyways, Buzzbaits work great in my pond too, and YUM BuzzFrogs are my favorite topwater soft plastic. My pond has no weeds so I also use Crankbaits like WeeWarts (I don't think they make 'em anymore though).
GOOD LUCK FISHING! and I hope this helps. |

There are two things I never leave without when fishing farm ponds. A blue gill colored pop'r and the other is a 2" neon chartreuse (yellow-green) grub with the squiggly lil' tail. I use he pop'r in the mornings ~5-9am and evenings ~7:30-9:30pm. The grub seems to work all day any day.
Work the pop'r like a wounded fish and do not set the hook w/ the grub until your absolutely sure it's a bass. Blue gill and crappie will bite it too and you'll rip a hole in their mouths and pull the hook right out. -Eric

on second thought... go ahead and set the hook on those little nibbles. If you rip the lip out of a baitfish, he is wounded and will most likely become food for your ultimate quest. Feed the bass, nurture the bass, catch the bass. It's all cyclical.

Why wouldnt a stik bait work? They dont have requirements that say which body of water you can fish them, they'll work on any body of water anywhere that holds bass.
