Avery Posted September 22, 2016 Posted September 22, 2016 Went fishing today at the pond I described in one of my first posts here and finally caught my first bass! My heart was pounding so fast at the fact that I finally hooked one. http://imgur.com/s0IjikU Thanks to this forum that I'm learning some stuff. Caught him on a white 3/4 oz. spinnerbait. 14 Quote

I see you caught the bass on one of the lures I recommended you earlier(spinnerbait).The particular size you used to catch your first bass is a very good size for big bass,so don't be surprised if you catch a big bass on it soon. 2 Quote

Man it was perfect conditions for spinnerbaits. Overcast and the wind was starting to pick up. I hope I can catch some more in there. A kid that has been fishing for a few years said that the pond is very hard to catch bass in. I need a good, healthily stocked pond.

I maybe get 4-5 full fishing weekends a year at this point, but I throw in various day trips to help with the addiction. 3 Quote

I work 6 days a week and only 1 day off which is Sunday, and Im stupid enough to promise my wife that Sunday would be a family day (after she let me buy a boat). I can fish maybe a couple hours after work if I get off early. If i get to fish more than once a week, I would be very happy. Quote

Super User fishballer06 Posted October 3, 2016 Super User Posted October 3, 2016 The white spinnerbait. Ahh... If I had a dollar for every bass in the world that has fallen victim to a white spinnerbait... Quote
