Jigged Bone

Large Bond Bass Fishing Question?

I live on a large pond small lake (2 – 3 acres of water) that is shaped like a pork chop (bone-in) in North Texas. The pond is shallow for the most part. 3 feet around the edges and 6-15 at the deepest part of the lake. The clarity is low with plenty of algae (about 1 to 1.5 feet visibility). The bottom is dark, blackish leaves that coat the bottom. There is no vegitation that I know of in the water. There are loads of sunfish, and shad. There are lots of 5-10 pound catfish.

Since bass are ready to spawn any day now in North Texas, you would do well to throw dark colored 7″ lizards (blk/blu), root beer color centipedes carolina rigged, blue gill colored spinnerbaits or buzzers, or the always good for Texas fishing 1/2 or 3/4 oz fluorescent reddish orange colored Rat-L-Trap. A 4″ Long A with gold sides or weightless Senko on 3/0 Wide Gap Gamakatsu are also very good pre-spawn baits.
When water warms to 65 degrees throw 3/8 oz jig/crawmin green/brown or shad colored 1/2 spinnerbait. If you fish any or all of these and get some largemouth then you have made the right choice. If they’re in there they will bite.

God Bless Texas!
