kwaldeier Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 I have yet to get out,sadly so I'm pumped to go soon and want to maximize my success rate. What has been working for you? Quote
Stingray23 Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Jerkbaits, weightless flukes, and keitech and strike king swimbaits have been killer for me so far. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted April 26, 2017 Super User Posted April 26, 2017 Small swimbaits, crankbaits, and lipless crankbaits have been working around here. I have only caught one on the bottom with a t-rig, and I pulled one out of the weeds with a jig. Quote
hunterPRO1 Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 im throwing frogs and t-rig swimbaits with good success. theres still a few on beds, caught one on a bed yesterday, swimbait work well for that, as soon as it touched bottom THUNK. just a male though. Quote

Super User Sam Posted April 26, 2017 Super User Posted April 26, 2017 Nothing is working. They are on their beds so I am leaving them alone until after May 1st, giving the water time to warm up into the upper 60's and low 70's. Quote
j bab Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Caught em on an H&H yesterday Throwing it on an Aldebaran and a Medium-Lite St Croix Premier, lots of fun Quote

snake95 Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 Down here in GA ponds in the last week: paca craw and pink flukes and Keitech Swing Impact Fats on a weighted swimbait hook, plus a couple of aggressive but small guys up shallow on weightless dingers (males on beds maybe?). Basically any plastic with moderate action; the common thread for success for us has been fish it slow. Quote

No clue where to go I would go to busch but I never have a whole day to fish it. Any suggestions on where to go? Quote
bma3 Posted April 30, 2017 Posted April 30, 2017 I wouldn't necessarily call it a pond but rather a very small lake and I've been catching them on the ned rig and a spinerbait. 1 Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted May 1, 2017 Super User Posted May 1, 2017 Lately, everything I've tried because of the pond I've been going to. Gold spinnerbait, hollow bodied frog in the lilies, Chug Bug Friday evening. The Ned, Finesse Worm-weightless, Rat L Trap. Quote
Jelvas Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I rarely fish small ponds because the ones around my area are all highly pressured and heavely fished, beside that i´ve allways been more of a lakes and rivers guy. Butt wen i do make a small 2/3 hours session on one of them i allways find myself trowing the same things... a Zoom Fat Albert Grub on a 3/8oz jig head and/or a Zoom finesse worm/Zoom Ultravibe speed craw on a T-rig! It may lead me to a dink fest kinda session most off the times butt i rarely get skunked and sometimes i do manage to trick a fattie... Quote
