Hey everyone!
I was fishing my pond today since we had our first big warm front with warm rain come through. I was fishing in the evening and I noticed something very different as I came up to the pond. No joke, there were multiple schools of bass on the surface of the pond. When I mean on the surface, I mean their back fins and tops of their tails were out of the water. I tried to throw a multitude of lures at them. My most confident bait was the mega bass jerk bait. The fish were swirling all around and I could throw my lures passed them and come through them and they would not bite. I could even throw it in the middle of the school and they would splash because they got spooked when the lure would hit the water. Keep in mind this pond is loaded with good fish. These schools were mostly 4-7lb bass just sitting on top barely swimming around at all. A couple would chase a lure if I burned it near the surface but none of them would commit. I was wondering if anyone knows why the bass were doing this and if there’s a good way to get these fish to bite? Just two weeks ago this pond was froze over and now the water is near 60 it seemed like because the grass had grown a lot and made it hard for my chatterbait to even come through it. I seen about 20 bass doing this in the hour I was there. It is about a 1 acre pond with grass.
