I have had luck using wacky rig and Texas rig senkos. The last 3 times I went out and used them I have caught 5 nice ones all over 3.5 lbs. if the fish are hungry they will bite and like people said you need to be fishing a pond that has big ones in it. My backyard pond has a nice 10 lb + in there lurking around I have seen it twice, once my girlfriend saw it, lurking close to the shore. I can't wait til I get him on my line

Yea those don't look skinny by any means to me man good fish! I can just imagine the ones you pull in if those are not up to par they are monsters

I was wondering why it was doing that lol ***ht

I've been looking for a small boat to put into my backyard pond. Nothing big just a 2 person row boat with a small trolling motor. Idk where to go to find something like that and I am having my first child on Monday so I can not spend too much right now

No it wasn't a carp there are 2 carp in this pond that I have seen an they are silver colored. This was definitely a bass had the green tint with black on it. It was about 2 feet or so from the shore line basically taunting me saying I dare you try and catch me I bet you won't lol.

I didn't switch back reels with her lol. I keep catching them in the same area of the pond. Now my girlfriend is getting frustrated because she hasn't caught anything in the past couple days lol. She likes using live shiners more than soft plastics and lures so I am going to pick her up some tomorrow. There is a pond on the corner of veterans parkway and racetrack that I am going to check out tomorrow. I saw a father and son fishing there on fathers day. I wanna find some other nice spots that have some big fish in them because mine has really slowed up compared to the amount of fish I was pulling in before. But there is a monster and I mean monster in my lake. My girl saw it first on Saturday around 1pm. She was freaking out about how big it was and when I looked over I just saw a huge cloud of mud in the water from when it swam off. Then about a hour later or so I just went down to the water without my rod and saw the beast chilling exactly where my girl said she saw it. They always look a lot smaller, to me atleast, when they are in the water and this one had to be at least 10# if not more!

I fished a couple ponds with fountains in them and never really had any luck by the fountain let alone the whole pond to be honest.

When I was back in Jersey I lost a MONSTER in the lilly pads. It jumped out of the water twice and then made a v line right to the Lilly pads and snapped my line I also lost my favorite spinner bait, this was about 2 or 3 years ago. But someone said it before there is nothing like using a top water frog and getting a bass to strike it right out of the wate through the lillys

I want to go night fishing but I need someone to take me on a boat! I ain't trying to accidentally get bit by a moccasin or rattler while fishing from the shore... they come out at night. QUESTION: In Florida do bass stay in the deeper parts of the lake at night or do they come to shallower areas since its cooler at night?

Is that in Jacksonville or is that in GA? I caught this 4.8# this morning the only one I caught today, I am going out now so if I catch a nice one I'll post

I use my storm swimming minnow 5 inch I also use yamamoto senko worms I think they are watermelon color ( they r dark green with a light green underneath) But my storm swimming minnow is clutch when nothin else has been working it looks and swims like a bait fish and the bass go crazy

Yea man I don't know where Yulle is I just moved here a few months ago. I am gonna start doing some salt water fishing in the next few weeks. I caught this 4.5# today around 7:45pm

nice catch man she looks like she put up a good fight

Lol you are absolutely right! I am being out numbered 2 to 1. 2 fishers usually beat 1.

I think I might have to swap my reel back cuz it's crazy lol. Nice pics of the family man I can't wait to be able to do that. Looks like your kids were having a ball.

Nice pic man I can not wait til my son is old enough to go fishing with me! I have 10 more days til my girl gives birth and then i got about a few years til he can go fishing with me lol. My girlfriend has been out fishing me the last 5 times we went out. I bought a new reel and gave her my old one and I caught 1 fish, smaller than the one your son caught. My girl on the other hand was landing 2 to 3 lb# left and right, I guess my old reel was the fish catcher not me which I use to think lol

I think the first pic of the 4.10 fish looks bigger than the 2nd but like u said it could just be the difference in the camera shot. But it is def over 4.5

When I go early morning I seem to get nice size fish from 3 to 4# around 7. Last week I caught 4 all in a row, 3.8, 3.10, 4.4, and 4.7 from 7am to 7.20am... that was the best 20min stretch in my life. I usually go everyday when I get home around 5:30pm and catch a good amount. My personal best came between the hours of 11am and 2. So those are usually the times I go out in my backyard and cast out if I am home. I just started using top water lures and frogs but haven't really had any luck so far.

RIP TO HIM and condolences to his family and friends,, hopefully he didn't have any children because that would be extremely sad

Good luck man what bait are you planning on using?

Yea I got all the hooks out of it. I hate when I hook a fish and the hook is in a spot where I can't get it out. I always make an effort to get the hook out whenever I can. If I was hooked in the mouth and someone was releasing me I'd hope they would do the same for me

I have never fished from a boat either.... Anyone in the Jacksonville area have a boat and looking for someone to fish with? I fish every day and I am down for whatever time wherever there are BIG fish

Next time I need line I'm gonna see if Dick's has the yo zuri hybrid line.

I have 8# test on my rod off the top of my head I don't know what my drag is set at though. I caught another nice one at 745 weighed 3.8#
