Weld's Largemouth

Lol my lakes never even get deeper than 8 feet

You can't get to it. It surrounded by very tall and thick pricker bushes and poison ivy

I agree except for the worm. The work will get ripped up and you can't replace it. Id with an extra spinner in case you lose one

There is no shoreline

I stand on the dock, everyone does, no fish are anywhere near it because everybody fishes right around it

Ok I'll go weightless, that's usually my confidence especially with senkos which I've caught all my fish on at this pond, but they haven't been working lately

Zoom trick worms? Aren't they like 6"Also weightless can't cast far to where I need to cast. Would a shakey head work or a bullet weight?

Hey all Going to this pond that I went yesterday again. Is heavily pressured and I barely catch anything. I know there are big bass in it but they are hard to find even though there are lots of them. They are just so pressured... I'm stuck on what to use and how to approach this . There is a dock and lily pads by shore, lily pads barely produce as everyone fishes them.... What to do?????

Just use a tape measure

Sounds like fun!! I do agree though with WIGuide, no 14" largemouth comes close to even 2.5 lbs. my max guess of the weight, without any photos, of a chunky 14" would be at most 1.8 lbs. A 12" bass would probably 1.25 lbs at most. You should buy a scale, they come in handy !! Also, the hookups with the jig may have been bad because it may be a bit big for these smaller bass

I've definitely caught less fish here in new york. But bigger ones

More the reason to stock up on mouse lures!

suffix 832 advanced beats all

Yea its probably true that he saw me... but still.. what bass in their right mind can resist a senko????

Hey all, This one pond I fish at is all about sight fishing. I saw 4 lber chilling in the shallows and I was determined to catch him. I threw a senko at first and he ignored it. I tried to get a reaction with a spinnerbait and fish swam off. And that was that. He was gone What lures are almost certain to get a bite if it lands right in front of a bass? Thanks Welds

Senkos

Awesome! It's always good to try new lures out! And congrats, sooner or later she'll be ordering crankbaits off of tackle warehouse haha

Try casting a spinnerbait into a shaded spot, you're sure to get a reaction strike. The shaded spots near the edges of the pond that are created by overhanging trees are the best and the coolest spot for a bass to hang in a small pond. The reason being is that the shallow water heats and cools much quicker than the deeper water, so the shallow water is cooler and that's where the bass will sit, waiting to ambush prey. Any reaction bait will produce a strike if it placed properly so that the bass sees it. I pulled out a 6 lb and a 5 lb bass in a small pond using this method. It was the middle of the day, clear skies and sunny

I caught a 20 inch bass that only weighed 3 lbs

Nice job! Spinnerbaits have become one of my go-to confidence lures

you should try a spinnerbait some time, they are great

Both on the spinnerbait, yessir

Hey all! Early in the morning the air was cool and was in the low 60s. The air had significantly cooled over night, as it had been in the 80s the previous evening. This cold front just made me want to go fishing, since it has been very slow and sluggish fishing lately, maybe this front will make a change, i thought. I ask my buddy if he wants to go fishing at a pond nearby him and we end up going out to fish at around 12:30pm. We arrive at the pond; its very windy out and the sun is high and strong, but the temperatures remain relatively cool compared to previous days: mid 70s. We both toss soft plastics around sticks and drop offs from shoreline and we arent able to connect with any bass. I tie on a booyah spinnerbait and toss it under a tree overhanging the pond, providing shade. I reel at a moderate pace and as i approach the shoreline, out from the shade comes a massive head with huge shoulders. A 6 lb largemouth slams my spinnerbait and i quickly land it. Measured 21 inches long and 6lbs 1oz. Just 6 oz shy of my PB, which i caught in florida 6lbs is a big big fish for up here in New York Excuse my facial expressions in these photos i was very shocked and excited Look at that stomach!!!!!! After this fish, my friend caught a skinny 17 incher that weight just under 2 lbs. We decide to take the row boat out onto the pond to get to some different spots. This is my first time ever fishing from a boat in freshwater. We approach a shady edge covered with trees and with branches in the water. I cast my spinnerbait under the tree, into about a foot of water near the shoreline. And WHAM! I hook up with a nice lunker! My first bass from a boat just happens to be one of my best new york bass! She weighed 5lbs and was 20.5 inches long. Boy did she have a lumpy belly!! Also, she had a bluegill tail sticking out of her throat (i didnt get a photo of the bluegill tail, i wanted to release her quickly) Im so glad i've finally managed to shake the skunk off of me! Its been two weeks too many!!!!!! Thanks BR!!!! -Welds

no more than 5.2

since when do chatterbaits not move???
