Whats bait to use in my little pond?
Hi i live in southwest floida on the coast and I am fishing behing my house in a medium sized pond/lake. Its pretty shallow, and mostly clear water. Theres a lot of Talapia in there but im going for the largemouth bass. In the lake there is not a lot of vegitation. There are a couple sets of lilly pads here and there but nothing substantle. There is a bug patch of reeds though but i really cant cast in front of them on land? I am wondering what to use. I have used Zoom watermelon worms, Zara Spook, and Rapala rattlin as bait now? I havent caught anything yet so please help me out on what to buy or use as bait?
hey man, i have always liked the rebel 3″ broke back minnow. it is a very versitile lure. if the water is at a good temp. 60-70 degrees this lure should work good for you. if the water is a little hot the bass will not ba as active as they usually would be. if that is the case use a medium sized buzz bait. get a buzz bait that has the square shaped blades not the willow blades. the buzz baits with the willow blades are good baits but i prefer the square blades. the buzz baits with the square blades make more noise. if the water is warmer than usual then the bass will not too much attack the lure out of hunger so the buzz will get the bass’ attention then the bass will attack out of curiosity or anger. hope that helped you out buddy, good luck and good fishin
