So I'm just getting into bass fishing, and I have been pond fishing a lot. Today was my best day so far, I caught 8 bass in three hours. I caught 2 in the deep part of the pond, and there is also a big portion that is shallow. I caught 6 in the shallow part, on senkos and brush hogs. However, I lost 2 and I missed a lot of bites. I was using a 2/0 ewg for the brush hog (baby brush hog) and a 3/0 ewg for the senkos. My hook up ratio was a lot better with the senkos though. Any thoughts on why I missed so many on the brush hog? Also, what do you guys like to fish in shallow water? (8 inches-2feet) ps: had one hit a buzzbait, missed it. It is April and i fish in PA
