I've been fishing some local ponds out in the sticks on private land with permission. I've had my personal best day in ten years of fishing last weekend- over 50 lbs of bass. My experience with local ponds is that the bass tend to run the same size in each pond. Either there are lots of smaller ones, or fewer larger ones, all of the same size. Anyway, I landed 18 fish, while walking half the shoreline of a small lake. The bass ran 2 to up to 4 lbs. They all bit on dark colored glittery plastics with little weight. The closer the plastics matched the color of the water, the better my luck, with few exceptions. A slooooowww, presentation,working it along the bottom, with lots of slack seemed to work the best. All in all, a great day. I repeated the same number (18), a few days later, on the sunny side of this lake, but the fish ran a bit smaller.

get out there and fish!!!
