I have a buddy that has a pond and I live in Lower Alabama. Have catfish bream white perch and I’m wondering what they bite this time
Of year? Have tried wigglers, bologna, any suggestions. I’m not a total loss btw! Ingre up on the tombigbee river and fished trout lines, limb lines, jugs, skoal cans (kml) and pole fished on some good holes in my time but it’s been 21 years since Losing
My dad and i guess life - it lost its spunk but I do know when I was fishing it was one of the most peaceful times in my life! It’s my roots! Any suggestions would be wonderful! Oh and fishing less that Andy deep with a cork!!

yes 8-2 closed on the 19 and 9 closses I believe at the end of this week. all for salmon but still can fish for most flat fish, perch etc. I don't know about area 10 which has been pretty good fishing lately. I wish they were open until mid October which would alow us to fish most of the run but it is what it is. most years the weather takes a turn end of Sept. first part of October which would prevent a lot of boats from going out anyway. 8-2 only has had part of it open the past several years I think the fishery suffered under over net fishing by commercial and tribe boats in the past and now they are trying to rebuild the runs

There appears to be significant amount of grass and weeds in the pond I have out my back door, which I have been fishing. I know this because virtiually every time I cast what ever my bait of choice is, it comes back with a clump of vegatation. I am fishing from shore and can see the grass that is growing in splotches approxiematly 3-5 feet from the shore and I would assume that the depths of this pond is approximately 3' to 5' deep at its deepest. Grass and weeds are usally coverd with about 1' to 2' of water. One can see the somewhat elusive nice size Bass at times munuever above and around the splotches of grassbeds. Of course I start throwing baits, hoping that one of them decides to entertain me. I have caught some smaller fish but have yet to catch a an adult fish. I know the grass beds attract fish. My question is how to catch the fish with out haveing to clean weed off your bait after every time you make a cast.
