Pond Fishing Techniques
Fishing in ponds requires a different technique than fishing off of a boat. You have to remain quiet on the bank, and make precise casts. Here are a few tips to help you catch more fish on the pond!
The next time you go out for some fishing in ponds make sure you keep a few things in mind. Most of the time, these ponds are pressured. Fish have learned what to associate with danger. This could be voices echoing through the water, footsteps, loud baits, flashy baits, even catching too many fish. Try these tips when you are on the water. You will catch more fish.
When you walk up to the bank, make your first cast for 10-15 feet back. The reason being, there are usually fish in the shallows, and bass and catfish are spooky. If you run them off, you are going to put that area of the pond on alert. This will make your catching a lot more difficult.
Fish have also learned to associate negatives such as listed in the first paragraph as a sign that danger is around. To them, danger is getting hooked in the mouth, and yanked from the water. Make sure you wear natural colors so that you don’t throw the fish off either. If you can see them, they can see you. They can also see you when you can’t see them. Keep this in mind when you are fishing in ponds and you will have a better catch.
