Default Re: Tips on pond and lake fishing for newb wanted

I totally agree w the live bait, especially if kids are with me or hosting kids. Nothing worse than fishing all day with nothing to show for it. Grab an extra combo or two like uglystik or something and rig those w a bobber and a worm or shiner and leave the bail open in case of a run off and just let them sit. You would be surprised at how 1 live bait rod will outfish 3 guys tossing aritificials almost anytime of the year. In shallow ponds and lakes work the upper water column. Deeper lakes fish a slip bobber setup, these can all be found in detail on google. Remember to cast to structure or weed edges and the like. Fish arent usually just swimming in the middle of the lake on sand bottom, they are in the shade or a good spot to ambush something, think like a lazy fish looking for an easy meal in the hot summer sun taking a bath lol
