Smallieslayer2234 Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Tonight I am going to fish a pretty small pond by walking the bank. The pond is Fairly shallow with a few really deep holes. There are lots of fish but absolutely no cover at all. I need some tips Quote
The Young Gun Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Where are you located? What's the water temps? If there's no cover look for any difference, whether it's as small as a 6" ledge to a thin veggitarion patch. Quote
PondBoss Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 Walk around it throwing a Bomber Square-A in white or brown/chartreuse. Or a wacky rigged Senko into the deeper holes. 1 Quote
Blues19 Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 I throw a 1/4 oz to 3/8 oz chartreuse white tandem spinnerbait on ponds like that. I tend to get quite a few bites on it. I like to go to the bank where the wind is blowing to when doing this. You could also throw a carolina rig to figure out the bottom structure and cover quite a bit of water Quote
Hanover_Yakker Posted April 9, 2013 Posted April 9, 2013 You can never go wrong if you have a white 1/4oz. Rooster Tail, a Beetle Spin with the grub body in green or orange, and a ball head jig with a 3-4" curly tail grub in your "pond arsenal". Those three baits alone have accounted for more than half of the bass I have caught in my lifetime in small ponds. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 9, 2013 Global Moderator Posted April 9, 2013 What's the water color? A T rigged senko, spinnerbait, and T-rigged 7-8 inch worm are good baits for pond fish. If the water is dirty I'd take the senko out of the mix though and if it's deep enough I'd add a trap to the mix. Quote
