Started at 8am on a small pond in mansfield near the hollow that we usually crush fish on with no luck eccept for about a 5 in LM on a 5 in sinko...and a bull frog on a 4 in senko that prolly weighed more than the bass...decided the day had not handed us our a** enough so we headed to halls pond which is in ashford I think... Very Happy

....thought the day there was gonna be good cause we came up on two 3 1/2 pound fish on beds that I thought we could entice...after 45 minutes and everything in my tackle bag I realized it was hopeless. Got one small bass that was full of eggs from under a log....then as we were headed back to the lauch we found a sunkin log and my friend (snakebite) hooked a chunky 3 pound fish on about a 12 inch ribbon tail worm....yes it had got that bad....we finished at around 5pm.

Ps...Do fish bite heavy on a post spawn? the first pond we went to had schools of 3/4 inch bass fry everywhere so they had to have been spawned out there already.

Immediately after spawnning,..fish are generally not too interested in your baits and are tough to catch. It takes them about 1-2 weeks to get back to "normal" afterward!

Note: Not every bass in the lake will spawn at exactly the same time,..so you can still usually get some to bite,..just fewer of them than normal! Wink

Im guessing that was the deal with the small one I got and the 3 that Ryan(snakebite) got...
