Swimbait In Ponds

[countryfried]

ok, quick question, 5 inch swimbait, 1 acre pond, goin for big fish, would it work ?

Of course of it has a natural look, action and color

Try it and let us know.

yes. better chance in the fall. try a few different angles while circling the pond. you can cover the whole pond in 20 min and know if they wanted it or not. i've found it to be a waste of time burning multiple casts thru the same water. ur first cast in new water has the best potential for a bite with a big lure in a small pond.

Caught in a pond, this year, on a 5" swimbait.

Yeah, they work.

Big fish eat little fish and there isn't anything that imitates a little fish much better than a swimbait. It certainly doesn't take a big fish to eat a 5" swimbait either. I've caught little 12 inchers on 5" baits that had it so deep you couldn't see the bait if they closed their mouths.

Nope, PB is my avatar. Didnt get a weight on the pond fish. Batteries were dead in the scale.

Always check your batteries.

The one in the pic I posted was probably around 6 or a little over, the avatar is 7lb 8oz.

This is great advice when pond fishing.
