In small ponds, will the bass feed at the same time? I hear one feeding bass can start the others to feed. I know there are many bass in this pond, at least 15-20. In the middle of the day, I see one or two jumping for dragonflies. I throw topwaters, worms, flukes, lizards, and get nothing. Even got a dragonfly topwater from Lunkerhunt to match the hatch trying to get the ones going after them (still no bites on that one either). But if those 2 fish are feeding, what are the others doing? They're not jumping so if they are feeding, they should hit the other baits under the water. So this leads me to believe that they don't feed at the same time and those that are feeding do not ring the dinner bell for the others. Does this mean that at any given time, I only have a chance at catching the few that are feeding? What I've read about this issue seems to be false, at least in this pond...
As far as fishing for neutral or inactive bass, I'm not interested in doing that because I've pretty much given up on it till the weeds die off later in the year.
