basserNC Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 I usually stick with senkos and cranks, what do you guys like to use in NC ponds? Quote
Super User Darren. Posted April 22, 2017 Super User Posted April 22, 2017 Welcome aboard! Don't fish NC often, so will defer to the folks from NC to give you advice Quote
lilbuddy Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Depends on the time of the year, weather conditions etc... If I'm going pond hopping I try to take a about 3 rods... I like to start out with a chatterbait at first...just my preference. I can cover a lot of water and quickly find out if they're interested in a moving bait...Also a crankbait if you're at a pond that you can bounce the crankbait off us...logs, rocks etc.. I also love using a jig....Even though I enjoy fishing moving baits there is nothing like that feeling when you see your line start to move or feel that little thump and you set that hook... Best advise I can give is experiment...don't limit yourself to just one lure. I've done that in the past. I find my "confidence lure" then thats all I fish with....thats a bad idea. Also this time of the year ponds with pads its always fun to throw frogs...Who doesn't get excited by a topwater blow up. Good luck and have fun. 1 Quote
Cltangler Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Trick worms and buzzbaits are my go to. I usually fish trick worms right before it stArts getting dark then when the sun goes down I pull out the buzzbait Quote
jewelcam Posted May 12, 2017 Posted May 12, 2017 Try a wacky rig worm for bassing fishing in ponds,, I have really good success when no one else can get them to bite. Quote
shipyard Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 Smallest rooster tails possible, use slow pitch jigging Quote

Do not limit yourself to a specific style of bait, try many, one type bait may get them moving around and then they will try to eat the next bait. Pond fishing is awesome but can also be tough. Good luck and have fun Quote
