Dillo Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 There is a small pond, maybe 30ft by 15ft and 5-10ft deep, near my house. I have seen and caught sunfish, bass (0-1 lb ish, mostly on the lower end), goldfish (probably some kids pet), crawfish, and shad. what i want to know is what are the best lures and rod/reel set up to catch all of them. I typically take my entire tackle box, but i would rather only take a few lures and one rod, and suggestions? Quote
Jolly Green Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 What catches you the most bass? The most panfish? Throw a couple of each into the small container of your choice, grab a light spinning rod and go, buddy. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted October 8, 2014 Global Moderator Posted October 8, 2014 An ultralight with a small curlytail grub or marabou crappie jig will catch anything that swims. 1 Quote
Super User deep Posted October 8, 2014 Super User Posted October 8, 2014 Maybe a small inline spinner or a spoon? Quote
lectricbassman Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 Ultralight gear with a curly tail grub. Bring a couple inline spinners and extra grubs and jig heads. Quote
jbw252 Posted October 11, 2014 Posted October 11, 2014 I agree with the ultralight & inline spinners - should get most of the fishes attention. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted October 11, 2014 Super User Posted October 11, 2014 I highly doubt there are shad in that pond, you probably caught golden shiners Quote
FrogTastic Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 I'd get an Abu Garcia Orra spinning combo and get it spooled with 10 pound mono line. I picked one up at Dick's for $100. Get a 7' medium light one. I'd try picking up a kit wits some assorted soft plastics, weights, and hooks. A few other bass lures I'd get would be a Booyah pond magic and a small frog. For a pond that small, I'd go with a Lunk3rhunt frog. Get a Strike King 1.5 squarebill and you'll be set for bass fishing. For panfish, pick up a beetle spin kit and a few rooster tails. Finally, pick up an assortment of split shots, hooks, and bobbers. Pick up some nightcrawlers, and you're set to fish that pond. If you have a bit more $$, a net and/or crawfish trap will help catch those crawfish and "shad". I agree with everythingthatswims, they're probably not shad. I'd guess they'ye golden shiners, or maybe even small bluegill. Drew ~Catch 'em Quote
Penguino Posted March 22, 2015 Posted March 22, 2015 For the bass, use an 6 inch t rigged ribbontail worm and a 2/0 hook. Quote
