Does anyone have any tips on catching pond bass on swimbaits during trout plants? The pond I fish has been planting trout for the past few months and I am trying to target bigger bass in the pond. The pond is averages about 5 to 6 feet deep, with the deepset part at 12 feet deep. There is habitat placed in the middle of the pond, although it is hard to fish because it is not within casting distance. The pond is 12 acres big and the water is clear to stained. Trout are planted every two weeks. The trout are around 6 to 12 inches long and roughly 1500 trout are planted. I have been using an 8 in weedless hudd in a ROF 12 but have not had any success yet. I was wondering maybe if I should down size to like a 6inch or a 68 special. also I was wondering what time would be best to fish for the larger fish, like during, or after trout plants. and also what time of day to fish. The pond does get fishing pressured but only during trout plants, and not many people fish for bass. Any information would help. Thanks.
