TriStateBassin106 Posted April 9, 2021 Posted April 9, 2021 Went to my pond today, water temps are finally in the lower 50s and I began my outing by throwing a lipless crank, after an hour I switched to a jerkbait and got no bites, then finally before I left I decided to throw a jig. While fishing, some bread someone left that was meant for birds somehow got in the water and the bank bluegill went crazy. This is the only time I saw some action as every once and awhile a bass would swipe at a bluegill or two, I'm pretty excited for the fish to finally be shallow. During this I dropped my jig near the feeding fish and a nice bass swiped at the jig, but other than that no bites for the rest of the day What can I throw in my pond at the moment to get bass like these to bite? I was thinking about maybe burning lures in schools of bluegill but that didn't seem to work. Quote

lynxcat Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 I crushed them today. Both a Chatterbait and a jig but primarily Chatterbait at my local ponds. 15 or so. One 4.81lbs and another 4.01...few threes and twos as well. Best fishing day of the year for me so far. I had my line pop on a jig fish that would have been another stout one. Fishing bank structure and throwing parallel to the bank for most of it. The bass just started spending here. Quote
Uncle_MC Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 I would try a weightless Trick worm like @BassWhole! suggested. Something like green pumpkin or junebug would be good. Quote
RichF Posted April 12, 2021 Posted April 12, 2021 Throw a 1/4 oz swimjig with a menace grub or rage craw trailer. 1 Quote
