did this last week and they were all under thick Lillipads and anywhere there was shade, i ran a buzzbait over top of the lilli's and caught a few big ones. Im in with everyone else on the night fishing though lol

texas rigged pumpkin and chartruse ZOOM lizard with a small bullet weight

not the fisherman =) i do better than anyone else i know around here, im just saying compared to other states, NJ fishing sucks lol. Just for example the record bass here is only 10 lbs. 14 oz. I go up to maine and the smallest bass you'll catch is a lb and your catching 2-3 lbers left and right like sunnys and pulling out atleast one 4-5 lb'er or heavier everytime you go out. NJ is just over populated and im strictly catch and release unlike some people (illegal immigrants especially) ive seen clean whole ponds out. Not only that all the waters are over-fished. Only good spots left are farm ponds or any ponds on private property.

NJ bass fishing is garbage

haha thats funny

yea u can take the snappers out, 3 of them might not be bad but one of them can lay 30-40 eggs lol. I started a project like this of my own last year but with a considerably smaller pond. About an acre and a half. Pickerol had taken over the whole pond, only thing that was left was them, cat fish, and crappies. So last year I stocked it with Bluegills and pumpkin sunfish first and then a few bass, and for the first time in my life ive pulled bass out of the lake. Sunny beds are everywhere and fry are jumping evrywhere. My thoughts would just be to give it a little more time, I know when they drain and dredge ponds around here it takes about a good 5-6 yrs for it to get good. But keep trying im sure some of them are bound to hit. Shouldnt have a problem with all the sunfish in there, thats enough to keep the bass growing and multiplying.

buzzbaits are good but make sure its not too small if its raning, also one of my favorites for rain is a pumpkin and chartruse ZOOM lizard, yo-yo it around structure when its raining under over-hanging trees, i get alot of hits on that in the rain =)

I change mine about every year unless i start having problems with it or run low. What about you guys?

What are your favorites?
