farm pond advice

[randerson52]

i see that alot of people here say that they fish small ponds or farm ponds. We'll i have found some lures that have worked well for me last year around this time.
1. a wieghtless t-rig black power worm
2.A rooster tail, fished on ultralight
3.a mini king spinerbait, on ultralight
4.a senko or tiki stik
5.Power Craw or Kreature bait

i fished all of these baits on a 4ft 6inch ultralight walmart pole. These baits really did produce for me and a friend. If anyone else has information to put on this thread please do, as it can be a reference to all.

I love farm ponds! Ultra-light is the key word, here is my list of go to baits (I know they work because I slayed them yesterday ;D):

1. Weighless texas rigged worm (black,purple,chartreuse)
2. Rebel ultra-light crawfish crankbait
3. Rebel ultra-light big ant crankbait
4. Strike King mini spinnerbait ( regular and bleeding series) also like Bluefox big crappie spin
5. Any in-line spinner (roostertail,mepps,Bluefox)
6. Rattletrap 1/8 oz. (any color)
7. any kind of non ultra-light topwater, pop-r, devil horse, skitterpop

Thats my list I hope it helps anyone looking to start fishing farm ponds. I have found that the smaller the bait the more success you'll have.

i agree, the smaller the bait, the more success

My experience is that any lure will work in ponds that work in lakes and any lure can be used from shore that can be used from a boat.

I assume you're satisfied with your results, but I think I would lack confidence in my ability to get a good hookset with a short UL rod.

Try this, it has been a super producer for me. Texas Rigged Zoom 4" C-Tail in Electric Blue or Pumpkin rigged with a 1 or 1/0 Hook. I perfer the 1 size because it does kill the action of the worm. If you can't get your hands of the C-Tail try the same rig using a 4.5" Culprit worm in Red Shad.

i have never fished one, want to tho. i will maybe fish a golf coarse pond this weekend(same thing right?) any ways i would try bigger baits, just to be creative. i also think red shad 4.5'' culprits are good.

Sliders are DEADLY in farm ponds and are perfect for light and UL rigs.

Keep all the other baits in the tackle box, you only need 1.................









come on you can guess it ?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????





















Yeah you guessed it a 4" RedShad worm ;D

Awww......I thought you were going to say a chrome-plated whiz bang ;D.

Don't disregard the heavier tackle-I hauled an 8 out of a little bitty tank about the size of the end zone on a football field.

7.5in red shad culprit. Need I say more?

[bassmaster1983]

Hula, the pond I fish gave up its' biggest to a red shad culprit, 6lbs. Not to me though. My best so far 4lb. on a senko.

A zoom bubble gum super fluke works every time

Been having good luck of late with a wacky-rigged Trick worm in the stock tanks I have been fishing. Watermelon/red flake.

NOTE: In the event that the pond has alot of big bass in it, use a bait that big bass like.
I fish a pond that is known for it's large bass. Due to the fact that this pond is private, and they don't allow just any one to fish it, I still managed to get permission. Actually the owners are friends !
I throw "regular" size baits. I.E. 7"-10" worms, regular size buzzbaits, normal crankbaits. Small bass will hit these but your chances are greatly improved at getting a hit from a better size fish.
Granted, don't get me wrong a big bass will hit a small bait.

My favorite farmpond baits are a culprit tomato worm and a junebug/chart tail lizard. Those will be well enough to blister your thumb on a Saturday.
