How to catch bass in a pond?

Question

how do u catch bass ive only had luck but i want to have a strategy?

Answer 1

Use black worms (not real). It works.

Answer 2

make sure you have worms not fake bait.

find like a cove or a shady place because thats where they like to stay. make ure where your fishing isnt to to shallow  

Answer 3

Depending on the size of the pond and time of year.

Probably the most productive method is using a texas or carolina rig.  (plastic worm weighted to either sink or slightly float due to the weight's position - on top of worm or tied off higher on the line).  Using a plastic work in that configuration around trees that have fallen in the water or other cover is the best was (from my experience).  You have to be patient because the bass with nip at the bait at first then they will take it.  You have to let the first couple of bumps go before you set the hook.  You can't wait too long or the fish will swallow it.  If you are practicing catch and release, you will most likely kill the fish if they swallow it.

You can also try using a spinner bait.  I have had more luck with them later in the season when it is cooler and if you want some real excitement, try a top water jig at night.  That can be tough but it is fun.

Best of luck.

Answer 5

in line spinners like panther martins or roostertails will work on a variety of species like, trout, crappie, bluegill and bass.

As far as worms and other live bait goes, it works. I do find that i get alot of fish swalowing the hook this way though, and I mostly practice catch and release. I prefer lures.

worms and nightcrawlers work really good.....go near rocks or under docks, also near trees.....fish like shaded areas, so anywhere you can find shade should be a good spot.....also rapala lures work great
