Nate

Went fishing at my dad's ponds today and couldnt catch a thing :'(... Now i know this place is loaded with quality fish with many over 5lbs. I tried everything but i couldn't get a hit. Any suggestions? Conditions: High 90's, Overcast, Wind 20mph, Water Clearity 6ft. Could you please help?

yea... i fish this small farm pond every once in a while and if you use a topwater frog it is almost certain that you will catch at least one of the two...

i agree with t-rig.... i would use what you have the most confidence in...

Awsome job i have been following your post about this topic and it seem to be a great idea. good luck with the pond and the fishing. p.s. keep us posted about "Your" pond. thanks

When you paint lures with a paint brush how do you not get streaks in your paint.... or uneven paint with lumps?

Bassin' and North American Fishing Club. NAFC has many different species in it too.

fish a swim jig? Do you cast it out and reel it in like a spinnerbait or go you bounce it up and down?

Welcome

Thanks Ronnie.

Where do you buy the supplies to make the lures... wood, eyes, lips, and the circle things that the hookes are on?

My mom got me hooked when i was about 3 because my dad was always too busy with sports and things that he had to do so i was raised by my mother.

This is an awsome idea. If it ever ends up near Ohio send me a Pm. Oh, and great job so far guys!

try a heddon tiny torpedo in black and silver.

nice catch. congrats!

Any clubs near Columbus Ohio?

That sucks but a day of fishing beatsd a day of working any day.

Try a Smithwick suspending jerkbait (silver with a blue back and orange belly)

Mike Iaconelli, Greg Hackney, KVD, and Bill Dance

that also happened to me about 3 days ago. i tried everything. even a rebel pop-r (which i usually have luck with ) and nothing. so i tried one of my lures which i use for big bluegill (tiny torpedo in pink with a blue back) and it worked great.

I have noticed that too. I fish many farm ponds where i live and the bite always picks up a lot. So how did you do?
