Josh. Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Hey guy's, I'm having a bit of a problem. I have been fishing some ponds around my house and cant seem to catch anything. I have caught a few on a shallow crankbait but thats it. I have 4 pond like right in my back yard and I just wanted to know what would be a bait to use? 2 of the ponds are about 10-15ft deep with some weeds and brush. The other 2 are a little deeper 15-20ft with brush. I have tryed a crankbait, spinnerbait, and i tryed topwater one night. So if you guy's could give me some pointers that would be AWESOME! Quote

Big Tom Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 You might want to check out the Senko sticky too. http://www.bassresource.com/bass_fishing_forums/YaBB.pl?num=1121527643 A lot of good information in there pertaining to a bait that you just cannot seem to fish wrong. Good Luck. Quote
buzzcatcher Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I,m in central N.C. and since November the only thing I've caught anything on is flatsided coffin lipped cedar cranks in Char/Blue or Char/Brown. They get deep real quick and rise real slow, awesome coldwater bait. Also remember to slow down your retrieve in the winter. David Quote
Super User Marty Posted February 13, 2009 Super User Posted February 13, 2009 I don't know what fishing is like in NC, winter or otherwise, but I use the same assortment of lures in a pond that I might use in a larger lake. Same goes for shore vs. boat. Just choose lures that you have confidence in and that seem appropriate for the conditions and you should catch fish if they're there. Quote
Jake. Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Keep throwing shallow cranks and lipless cranks until your arms fall off. Quote
