Picky Bedding Bass

[randerson52]

Okay the pond i fish, Deer Path, the bass are on beds, about 2 weeks ago i went there and slayed them on a wacky rigged gulp sinking minnows and the turtleback worm. Okay now just last saturday may 6, the bass were right there on beds! Air temp was around 72 degrees. These bass would not strike anything. Heres what i tried. First, i tried a rapala jointed minnow in the firetiger pattern on an ultralight rig. Then that didnt work i switched over to a popper, nothing again. Then i figured i would try some gulp! turtlebacks wacky style, got one to move it from its bed and drop it, it didnt have its lips around the hook so i coulnt set it. Then I switched to probably the best spawn bait the LIZARD. Well i worked this thing all differnet ways. NOTHING. This was 2 hours of learning about the spawn, but not catching a single fish. MY question is what types of retrieves should i use and what lures should i use. Since this is the time of year when I make money again, I can buy baits!!! IM thinking of buying bulk plastics but not sure what kind, im looking for bulk black lizards, and bulk red shad powerworms. Thanks for reading the post and any answers will be appreciated
