Alot of that stuff on the bottom in alot of these ponds is very mushy and doesn't hold together well. I was having to pop my jig real hard on a few casts to clear the junk off of it. When it would get a little heavy I would pop it with my rod and it would knock most of that stuff off, then you could work the jig back in with no problems.
Good to here you caught a few Mark, need to go ahead and warm that elbow up for the spring floods on the river my brother. Sorry we didn't get to get together at Johny's I got a pass from the boss at the last minute lol. Chuck

Mark, I went Sunday morning and caught probably 30 bass and 4 huge crappie. Most of the bass came on a Bayou Boogie and a few on the crappie minnow. You are right the bass was tearing it up. Biggest bass was 2.5lb
I hear ya Jimbo, sounds like a Heck of a day, good job man.
Got out and pond fished last night with Jabbo. We caught 7 Had a 3# and a 5#. Most came on spinnerbait. Whacked the 5 pounder on a black/blue jig... It's about to get good, boys!
Fished a pond yesterday wiht a fly rod and caught 7 or 8 largeheads. Not a lot of size, but fun anyway. All between 12-16 inches, but healthy looking critters.
The farm pond I frequent FINALLY came alive today! Caught 13...most of them between 12" and 15", all very healthy, had one that thought he was bigger than he really was. Bout dang time!! Then the rain quit and the wind started picking up around 3:30 or 4:00, then things got slow, I lost a lure and said heck with it, enough for today.
Sounds like you must have been fishing out of the same "pond" that Bill Dance does his shows on! LOL! Way to go!
