Answer 1

I think you might have the correct lure just the wrong "cast-area".

Instead of casting "out" into the farm pond, try casting parallel with the shoreline, (at about dusk).

Fish in farm ponds/retention ponds get "wise" to "food"(your lure) magically appearing in the middle of the pond,(they find out quick that your "offering" is "bad news"!). So try finding some good structure along the ponds sides to cast at, just before dark.

Plus, downsize your line diameter. Try casting a lighter line,(or braid), or use a fluorocarbon leader like "Vanish". I would also either buy some Berkley 6 inch Power Worms in Black or Red shad or buy some fish attractant to spray on your current worms/lures. Your idea of a "weightless" worm is sound!


A good question to ask yourself is: What in the world are these fish eating?

Match your lure to whatever they are eating; frogs, minnows, leeches, shiners, grasshopper, bugs, etc.

Remember that "pond-fish" don't have as varied a "menu" as lake or river fish, and they will/can be "picky" eater's. Once you "match the hatch" you will be successful!

good luck!

Answer 2

how big is your pond? what is the cover? what is the water color? If the water is clear your black worm is not your best choice unless it is a cloudy day. use a more natural color. if water is dingy or murky black is good. what is water temp. There are alot of variables. The only way to catch a big fish is be at the right place at the right time. Throw what you have confidence in that is your best lure in your box. Where are you located in the US. if you are up north a 2lber is probally pretty good size. If you are down here with me a 5 or 6 is a good one in a pond.

Answer 3

This is my specialty, this is all i fish for and in. At day, a worm of any lighter color will work, but like to use buzz and chatter baits. At night, use darker colors. Last night i caught a 7lb bass on a black and red buzz bait. IF you keep using a worm, use a little wieght. Just get enough so you cant see the worm while reeling in. I dont think the wieght shape would matter much, but i use bullet weights. I have purple worms with pink tails and they do all right, but i have orange and yellow spotted worms for day time.

Answer 4

i might initiate out with a flippin' tube. such because of fact those made by utilizing Gitzit. Throw 'em under brush, trees, or around stumps and turn, craw or jig 'em returned to the boat. stick to user-friendly hues like crayfish varieties, and pink. If the tubes are not producing such as you think of they could attempt a plastic malicious software. 4"-6" are suitable for the duration of twelve months, and the bass could be a nailing them with ease. attempt curly tailed worms texas-rigged in black, pink or crayfish varieties. Plastic worms are not working? attempt a bass-jig. no longer many human beings have mastered the paintings of utilizing a jig. that's pretty lots a spinnerbait without a spinner. Throw around cover, and stick to reds, and browns. those stand-out in my innovations, basically for CATCHING fish. once you're a quickly fishing form attempt those. A spinnerbait. in basic terms throw them out, and reel them in. The spinnerbait is a so-observed as jig with a spinner. some bass inhale it on the drop so watch and experience the line for that lunker bass. A lip-much less cranks. The Rat-L-capture is definitely one of my well-known lures for bass, and boy do they artwork. a great number of the time, they out fish different baits 2-0. Yea, they're that good. attempt shad varieties, or perhaps the "alluring Shad" trend by utilizing Strike King. final i might use a crankbait. no longer basically any crankbait, a floating, or shallow diver. they seem to artwork pretty good commencing off in March, and that i like organic shad varieties, or mind-blowing chartreuse, counting on water readability, temperature, and the moon's section. desire i helped ya out.

Answer 5

If you want to find out whats in there use a black single spin spinner bait at night or a purple 6 inch worm.The big ones hunt at night!

Answer 6

throw them all. does the pond have alot of rocks? throw a jig and trailer or carolina rig. lots of trees or lilly pads flip a jig. spinnerbaits are good. experiment with colors. you have black so ill reccommend pearl, pumpkinseed, and watermelon for soft plastics. try a husky jerk or different depths of crankbaits. once i fished all day in a gravel pit in ohio with a buddy and didnt catch a thing untill we pulled in to shore and threw crankbaits and let them drag up the bottom to the shore. the rucus they create on the bottom will cause fish to strike out of reaction. good luck, good fishing, and i hope this helps

Answer 7

I would used a black jig attached to a brown rubber crawdad.

hop it along the bottom flow of the pond. You are guaranteed

to catch a monster bass.

Let me know how it turns out.

Answer 8

If there are huge bass in there, which there are probably a few. Throw a live crawdad in on a bobber. If you only like to lure, use a #1 castiac lure. (it looks like a fish, but the big ones can't lay off it)

Answer 9

a purple 10 inch worm from culprit..or a black 12 inch Mann's Jelly Worm...Big Bass go for Big prey..try them as close to nighttime as you can get while still being safe
