Went fishing in a privet pond today just trying to catch what ever(lots of large mouth bass and blue gills and few bull head and perch) had night crawlers,rosy red minnows,fat head minnows,leaches,. Went to the west side of the five acre pond with a swimming beach on it first cast blue gill next cast another blue gill then I Re baited with a 1 in pice of night crawler 1 and half feet from sinker and then another foot and half till clip on bobber. bobber goes under set the hook rod doubles over reel in 16 in chunk large mouth he had the hook in his moth just before the gills. My question was he on a bed or is it prespawn it was 6 feet water 45 degrees about. Then my brothers rod same set up with a minnow hooked through the mouth he hooks up and reels in a bigger one. this pond really dose not have much weeds yet and there are no fish cribs or sunken trees in there mostly rocky bottom
