local pond

[JacobK]

I've been fishing a local pond that is highly pressured its about 5 acres and it borders a golf course. Most of the people that fish the lake just fish for pan fish.

There is no visible structure and scarce cover. Visibly i can see there are lots of tiny pan fish swimming around and some of the larger ones are taking flies off of the surface.

i've used all of these in different presentations around as much of the lake as i can get too without trespassing on the golf course and so far i've only caught 1 dink on the white buzzbait.

1) pork and jig

2) buzz frog

3) white buzzbait

4) spinners

5) rat-l-trap

6) wooly craw

7)GYCB Kreature

8)senko

9)tubes

10) flukes

11) random crank baits

12) surface popper

13) super spook JR

14) Yum crawfish in blue and natural brown

I dont see the worms on your list... finess worms would be best I assume. Also with the fact you see so many small panfish throw some kind of jerk bait. Whats the water temp?

Keep that fluke on your list.

ok, if yo know for a fact that there is bass in the pond, i woud recommend a small storm swimbait, in bluegill pattern off course. try finding a little deeper water, tapering off from more shallow areas. bass will usually cruise in areas like this, either for territory purposes or feeding.  most ponds i fish in are usally like the one you stated, no cover hardly at all. just let the swimbait fall to the bottom, and start with a slow retreive, with some erratic twitches here and there. if that fails to produce, expiriment with retrieves, and go from there.

Trick Worms and Finesse Worms. Stick to any shade of green,motor oil, junebug or some others that i can not think of right now.

I doubt if lures are the problem. Either there are few bass or you haven't been there at the right times. If I were you, I'd try to fish there at some higher percentage times, like early mornings, late evenings or overcast days and see what happens. I hope it's not the reason, but this may just be lousy bass water, but give it a chance before you move on.
