fishing n autograph Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Well I had a day off so I decided to do some local pond hopping. It had been awhile since I'd fished it, but 6 or so years ago I would catch 5-15 2-5lbs smallies in a few hours. Launched the yak in the first pond, spent about an hour and a half and nothin. Saw a few jump but not even a strike. Tried my go to - slow rolling a white spinner bait, then switch to a buzz bait, then switched to a KVD square lipped crank... nada So I pulled the yak out and went to the next pond. Same results. Even the beaver dams didn't produce. Frustrating for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reef Runner Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 A day fishin' is still better than a day working. I would try finessing your presentation to soft plastics and slower presentations - ie, senkos and dropshotting leach/minnow imitations. If that fails go to the roots: Worms!

No, always liked a stable weather pattern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, always liked a stable weather pattern. Me too. I mean I'll fish anyways, but... 2-3 days of stable weather def beats drastic changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishindevil Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 cold front go with finnese presentation like verticle like a dropshot or a small swimbait or tube,and fish it slow and tight to structure they don't like to chase in a cold front but want to check it for a longer period of time,they can be coaxed into hitting .....
