Pond Fishing

[oglejust]

hello, im new to this website and looking forward to learning some tips and techniques for bass fishing. im currently fishing from a bank at an east central illinois farm pond (no grass or cover) just a lot of trees that i happen to snag a little more often than id like. looks like u can c about 2 ft down into the pond altho its pretty muddy. im using a zebco 33 with 14lb line. ive been using spinnerbaits and whistler jigs with no luck. i have had pretty good luck with a small red tube worm with white tails on a small hook. i caught about a 2lb bass the other day with it which i was happy with im just looking to do this more often or maybe get something bigger. can u guys give me some tips on using rigs that would work in a pond and what kind of lures u would recommend. thank you
