I fish a small pond after work every day. For the last 4 or 5 years, I use a medium light 6'10" dropshot rod and have been using 3/32oz Owner Shakeyhead hooks. I use a Zoom Finesse Worm (a trick worm junior). I catch 8" to 12" dinks, but it's the most fun you can have. I'm catching 15-20 fish. The secret is red bug or green pumpkin purple. I don't know what it is with these two colors, but it just flat out catches 'em. More-so with the red bug, what is it with that color, I picked it up on accident, I was going for junebug but this red bug is even better. Does anyone have a theory on this color?

Had a short window to squeeze in another trip before our next series of storms and anticipated a lot of action... the fish apparently had other plans. 🫤

 

On a positive note, after a lot of casting practice with reaction baits I decided to tie on the new small hula grub from Yamamoto. Ended up catching a couple just before it was time to go and I'll definitely be spending more time with those this spring.

Only had time to fish until 11:00 this morning. Very breezy. I had two 3.5-4.0 lb. bass hit an AJ Special, and another smaller one hit a Yum Dinger TR, but lost all 3. I don’t think they ever got hooked but were mouthing the bait. 
 

Beached the boat and decided to take a few last casts with a Zoom Trick weightless TR. The second cast was a far one, and as the line sank it took off. Not big, but avoided the skunk!
