Pond Invitation

[mhall]

If the pond is murky from all the rain and you get a little chop on top from the wind throw a half ounce rattletrap and or a spinnerbait and you just might get your arm broke.

Ditto on the Rat-L-Trap or similar lipless. Don't overlook the obvious powerfishing techniques....a love fishing worms (especially 10 inchers for big uns') but if they'll hit fast-moving baits you might catch more!

Worm or lizard with light slip sinker (1/16 oz or so). I've also had good luck this time of year with a tube fished rather quickly, kind of a swim hop swim hop retrieve. Just rig it with a standard tubejig head.

That big bass pond fishing is good stuff! Have fun!
