Got out today!

We made it out on a little farm pond this after-noon. pretty slow but Jonathan did land a bass right away. we start off off different ends of the pond, im throwin my secret lure i got hit hard put pullin across the bottom REALLY slow(i must of forgot what a fish feels like ) then i hear Jonathan yellin that he had one, so i was in a hurry and triped in a hole and broke the cell phone! got the picture of the bass. then we both thought it would be a nice day of bass fishing, but we were wrong, but it was still a good time to get out!

P.S. im gettin out tomorrow, and hope i can hook up with something im 0 for 3 right now

It was a slow day. I thought after i hooked up with one bass earley in the day, it was gana be a good day, That pond is known for having good bass in it but it turned out to be a slow day for us both

Congrats guys…Glad you got one

Slow day on the water is still a FUN day. You are still fishin and thats FUN.
Thanks, Bill

for sure even though it was slow that gave us time to BS. just to be out there is better than sittin around at home sure gald i grew up around fishing!

I got out today on our pond/lake for a couple hours. I didnt catch anything over 15″ but caught about 12-14 bass. About half came on jerkbaits, 3-4 on a senko and 2 on a drop shot. It was cold and windy, but great to get out. Not long now!!!

Sounds liek you had a better day than me and aaron BassBaron, but we both still had fun and it was great to be fishing

Yep, its all about getting out there and breathing the fresh air- keep working at it, dont get in a hurry. If you are familiar with the pond it helps this time of year. Fish very slooowly around cover/objects/breaks – most of the fish I caught were in 8-10 fow near something.

LOL!!!!
Ya know what is really funny? I just happened to look at the pic of your bass and think, “hey, that pond looks alot like” and then I see where your from and I realize, “that is THE POND “. Been fishing that pond for 24 years. Back in the early 90s it had huge bass in it.
BTW, on one trip out there I saw the 3 largest bluegills I have ever seen in my life. They were swimming together and I only saw them the one time…..but they were huge!!

oh yeah that THE POND we still hear people seeing some big fish in there but nobody has caught them(that i know of) we’re gonna fish try to fish it more this year.

Back in the late 70’s early 80’s 5 and 6 lb bass were quite common. You could usually pull one or two each trip out. Then some people started keeping them and the size of the bass went down drastically. Then the 12-15″ bass were very plentiful. I don’t fish it as much as I used to. But I can say the quality of the bass is getting better. Most of the MOGAMBO fish I see in there now are grass carp. Largest bass I have caught in there in the last 5 or so years was around 3 lbs.

Hey ducks4me, me and my brother fish that pond alot during the summers, he is the one who got us permission to fish it from bob, but last year he pulled out a nice 3 1/2- 4 lb bass, but any time we go out we usally get a few 15-16 inchers

I remember back in the late 70s early 80s I would use an ultralite rod to catch those bass. Was a blast!! The south end of the pond was almost all moss instead of weeds. Those bass would stack up right along the edge, waiting for an easy meal…..or the right lure.
Ever try a mouse on those weeds? Lots-O-Fun!!!!
