Buddy and I chasing the 5 pounder mark
May 4, 2021 15:11:44 #
Me and my buddy been chasing a 5+ in this private pond “that was originally a gravel pit and someone hit a natural underground spring one day like 25 years ago, and it’s been getting stocked for the last 20 years. Multiple species of fish in there .. Bass and bluegill are the top two types of fish in there. But there’s also Crappie, Catfish, Walleye in there to. We have been fishing it strong for about three years now.. how do we find the 5+?? It’s a lake pond with a few different little bays and a small island one one side average depths vary from about 3ft-9ft. Rough estimate.. but there is a few deeepeer spots there over that 9ft mark. One of those spot spots is around 20-25 feet deep..

GooseDaBass: This is just a guess but I suspect you would need to use one of those bluegills or perch. The big bass and larger catfish feed on other live fish. I expect the gravel pit isn't too large, but you will still need to find the spot or area most favored by your trophy Bass. Also, check your state's game laws about using live bait. Just Sayin....RJS

I’ve only caught a few LMB over five pounds, but ALL of them were on live bluegill/sunfish or lures that resemble the same.
My largest was 6 1/2# and was caught on a lure.

Goose, is there anyplace you can get some xtra large shiners? I fished a pond on a golf course when we lived in Brenham, Texas. I caught a 7.5 LMB and a 8.6 out of that pond. The 8.6 came out of the water to grab the shiner before it hit the water. I almost lost it I was so surprised. Try those shiners if you can get any.
