I've been hitting a lot of ponds. Fished one in Bentonville last night, after dark. We fished buzz baits mainly, my buddy's was making a little bit more of a whistling noise and the bass seemed to be more into his. I was getting one bite to his 4.
Seems like a good time to get some tips on catching at this level. One thing I always enjoyed was fishing flooded brush/debris. Either flipping or spinnerbait/buzz bait, are the fish likely to move in shallow this time of year? Will they stick with the old shoreline awhile?
It seems to me that walleye NEVER get released. I have caught hell over releasing legal 'eyes this year and I wonder how many shorts end up in a grease bath.
So I'm dead set on fishing one night this week, I'm restricted to fishing after dark. What do you all think? I plan on hitting the clear end, around twin coves. Recommendations? Suggestions?
Well it's pretty evident by my posts that a lot of my fishing is done at night. By necessity rather than preference. I will report any finding. When is the time to start night fishing lakes? Yesterday? I will get on that soon.
I think there is a ton of attention to carp as of late. I know I will be targeting them some this summer and I've seen guys on the Illinois and the "bella vista flats" hook up on em, on purpose. I guess with all the other options they may go on the back burner but it's way more likely to catch a double digits carp over a trout the same size.
