|
My brother in law and I went "Pond Hopping" because the wind was a blowing!! We figured the smaller the water the less open space. So we hit a small pond which ended up being very productive. We managed 39 fish, 20 for him and 19 for me. All largies and all cookie cutters between 1-2 lbs. We did manage a couple in the 2-3 range along with a 4+ which rounded out the trip. All fish were caught on soft plastics (texas rigged) and jigs/pigs.
We went to another small pond (without a sniff) I'll never go back to that toliet (guilford lakes)!!! 
Then we hit another lake X and I managed another 3 largies..all small using the same approach.
So, I edged out the victory 22-20 overall. It was a good day to be out on the water.
Peace out!!

nice, i believe there was a Bill Dance special called pond hopping on sunday 
Sometimes, small ponds can hold some lunkers. There is one pond by my wifes shore house that is loaded with lmb. I will fish there for an hour and catch fish ever other cast. The first time I fished there I didn't think I would catch anything but was pleasantly surprised.

Nice job on the smaller waters Mike. One thing for sure about smaller waters, you don't have to deal with waterskiers and pleasure boaters!

Thanks for all the congrats.
Smaller water is key..most of the time.
What kills ya is that some spots are so remote it takes quite a bit of lugging the pond hopper around. 
Those bass raiders are heavy after a while
