NEW pond help

planxdownfall · 10-05-06, 06:18 PM

there is this pond down the street, and i tought it was a private pond, but it isnt.so i tried fishing there like 5 or 6 times and got nothing. it is really really dark. you cant see down after about 2 or 3 inches. i had one bite on a spinner bait. i kept trying that, but it wasnt working again. i saw a few fish, fly out of the water like almost a foot.i tried a popper but they wouldnt hit it. i tried spinnerbaits, senkos, poppers,swim baits, and i think that is it. it is about 50- 60 yars long, and about the same width. there is some fallend trees, and bushes. what should i throw in. ideas.

how do you know there are bass in it? when was the last time it was stocked?

planxdownfall · 10-05-06, 06:37 PM

i saw a really small 3 or 4 inch bass really shallow. also i saw one fly one of the water. i dont even know if it is stocked. there is little streams that eventually end up in resivours

ToPwAt'R GuY · 10-05-06, 06:41 PM

In small little ponds like this little spinners and small plastics seem to work for me. You could also try some shallow crankbaits.

planxdownfall · 10-05-06, 06:43 PM

how about some jigs, will they work by the trees in the water?? thanks

Vabass22 · 10-05-06, 08:42 PM

You can never say for sure that something will work. They might. You shouldnt fish this pond, unless you are sure there are bigger bass in it, for a long time with no success. I would try a dark senko, or trick worm. A black/red spinnerbait, with a single silver colorado blade might work also.

I'd throw out some live bait under a bobber, th first time, while fishing a t-rigged worm...

mymomisbecky · 10-06-06, 09:52 AM

try a three hooked pre rigged worm, like "the worm" or the "ike kon" or the ones i sell. they just flat out produce

live2fish2007 · 10-06-06, 10:23 AM

from my experince i fish in a pond exactly like this. and i use everything in the world and then i finally tryed and old trick my dad used when he was young and just put a worm on a medium sized hook and just let it sink slowly. Dont put a sinker on it and u should prolly get some good hits

planxdownfall · 10-06-06, 10:31 AM

thanks, there is deffiniatly some big fish in there though, cause my line took off when it hit that spinnerbait. it felt like a big fish.

live2fish2007 · 10-06-06, 11:01 AM

well that should work i use it all the time and i caught a huge largemouth about 7 lbs

live2fish2007 · 10-06-06, 11:03 AM

and those tress in the water try some plastic worms around them like some bright color ones and if u can find a black 1 with a orange tail that might work 2 were it is dark

mymomisbecky · 10-06-06, 11:30 AM

coincidentally my hottest color, BY FAR this year as of late has been this one.

I just kind of threw it together one day, and wow has it been producing. Its not on my color chart, but they are availabe on custome ordering ...
something to the black and orange, thats for sure

planxdownfall · 10-06-06, 07:12 PM

i got it. a had an all black zoom lizard no flake. with a carolina weight though. and hopped it off the bottom. right next to the fallen trees and crap. i am trying jigs tomorrow. 3 fish total. 15 in,16 in,and 9 in

live2fish2007 · 10-08-06, 02:05 PM

Why in the world did it take you so long to figure out LIZARDSRULE Bass

I don't fish any pond without lizards, and your color choice is great, but get some green pumpkin to go along with those, and of course some june bug wouldn't hurt either

Fish them weightless, and also with 1/16 oz bullet weight pegged. C-rig isn't always the best way to fish them, especially around laydowns

Where can I find black lizards? I want to try them on a weighted hook, and t-rigged.

mymomisbecky · 10-09-06, 08:06 AM

you can find lizards from zoom, or berkley powerbait, or berkley gulp, or any number of companys. Most people like the zoom brush hawg.

wal mart hasd them in their bass pack

planxdownfall · 10-10-06, 04:07 PM

bullet weight, that is what i meant. i tried weightless, but it didnt work so i was like let me try this, and it worked

Vabass22 · 10-10-06, 07:05 PM

Try some gulp sinking minnows, in black w/red flakes. Be careful though, they hit on the drop, and you need to have a good hokset.
