Question's about fishing a local pond?
Hello, I am fishing a private pond. I need some advice on what to use the water is not deep, There is a lot of cover, and its a little murky. I need specific baits to use! It would be of great help thank you!

Sounds like a fish a similar private pond. A lot of the time I just fish a 5" senko weightless, of various darker colors. Or ill fish a jitterbug any other popper of some sort. Im not the most experienced fisher on here but those have worked for me pretty well.

I'd be loaded with a t rigged black/blue beaver, a frog bait like a Spro, spinnerbait, Baby Torpedo topwater bait, and a 5" Senko style bait like basshunter mentioned.

How murky is the water, and what kind of cover?
Take a black jig, drop it in the water until you can't see it. Grab line the line at the water. Tell us what the visibility is. For example 5" visibility, 10" visibility, etc. A spinnerbait sounds like it would be good though! I'll recommend a terminator t-1 spinnerbait (1/4, or 2/8oz), with a a tandem blade combo of willow/col. Silver willow, gold col.. take a yum soil body swimbait, and use that as a trailer. White and chartreuse are good colors, maybe add some black to the combo. Also a black and blue jig with a rage tail craw as a trailer is good un. Strike kind flipping jig with - 3/8oz. A senko may work if the water is clear enough, maybe add a worm rattle too. 3/0 twist lock hook. Wide wobble crankbait with rattles, and a bright color like fire tiger bumped off/on any wood cover. Here's how I would go about doing this. Take the jig first, go through there and try to get any bigger fish that may be spooked by the faster bait, then go back with with senko, than spinnerbait (because you can fish it SO MANY ways.), and finale the crank. Good luck, hope you tear 'em up!

8 to 12 inch Mann's Jelly Worm, weightless/t rigged
Blackberry (Black), Grape(Purple) and Marmalade ( Motor Oil) 3/0 old school offset worm hook, those EWG do not have as good as hook up ratio and the EWG will pick up way too much pond scum Good Luck |

you can bend the arm of the spinner to make it a little bit more weedless but you just got to mess around with em' till you find the right way
