Ultralight Bass Fishing In A Pond

 

When I am going bass pond fishing, I take only 2 rods, and 2 baits, in a few different colors. Follow these tips, and you too can carry a small pocket sized tackle box, and unload a pond of its fish!
Pond bass fishing can sometimes be a frustrating game. It doesn’t have to be that way though. Instead of loading up your tacklebox full of lures, getting to the pond, and changing lure after lure, try these few techniques and stick with them for a decent amount of time, and you will have a better catching, with less fishing.
I love using plastic worms. I mean, what bass fishermen doesn’t love a plastic worm? They have been around forever, and will continue to be a staple in many anglers boxes. I have figure out though, that you only need a couple colors. In general, a 6″ size will be perfect for ponds. Not too big, not too small. Even for cold fronts. The colors I prefer to use are: green pumpkin, black, and tequila sunrise. I prefer to use Powerbait because of the scent. I’m not always paying attention to the strike and line, and have missed bites on other baits because the fish will spit the bait out before I get the chance to set the hook. Not so with the Powerbait worms. Try the 6″ and you won’t be sorry.
A topwater popper is an excellent bait, providing insane topwater strikes. There is a kit I found on Amazon a while back (I linked it at the bottom) that had 4 poppers in it. This is all you need for bass pond fishing. If there is a cold front, use one of the smaller sizes. If the frogs are chirpin, use the frog color. If you see wakes coming off the water, and the bass are chasing gills or minnows, use the minnow colored one. Get the drift? Throw a topwater all day long, from sun up til sun down, and back to sun up. When you get a missed strike with the topwater, throw your powerworm a couple feet past the missed strike, and start working it. You will mop up the pond bass fishing!
