I have yet to get out,sadly so I'm pumped to go soon and want to maximize my success rate. What has been working for you?
Jerkbaits, weightless flukes, and keitech and strike king swimbaits have been killer for me so far.
Small swimbaits, crankbaits, and lipless crankbaits have been working around here. I have only caught one on the bottom with a t-rig, and I pulled one out of the weeds with a jig.
im throwing frogs and t-rig swimbaits with good success.
theres still a few on beds, caught one on a bed yesterday, swimbait work well for that, as soon as it touched bottom THUNK. just a male though.
Everything. Love this time of year.
Nothing is working.
They are on their beds so I am leaving them alone until after May 1st, giving the water time to warm up into the upper 60's and low 70's.
Caught em on an H&H yesterday
Throwing it on an Aldebaran and a Medium-Lite St Croix Premier, lots of fun

KVD 1.5 and a Carolina rig with baby brush hog.
Down here in GA ponds in the last week: paca craw and pink flukes and Keitech Swing Impact Fats on a weighted swimbait hook, plus a couple of aggressive but small guys up shallow on weightless dingers (males on beds maybe?). Basically any plastic with moderate action; the common thread for success for us has been fish it slow.

Have you fished Forest Park lately? No clue where to go I would go to busch but I never have a whole day to fish it. Any suggestions on where to go?
Trigged lizards and chatterbaits
I wouldn't necessarily call it a pond but rather a very small lake and I've been catching them on the ned rig and a spinerbait.

You can go pretty much anywhere out at Busch and catch little ones. I haven't fished down in Forest Park in years.
Lately, everything I've tried because of the pond I've been going to. Gold spinnerbait, hollow bodied frog in the lilies, Chug Bug Friday evening. The Ned, Finesse Worm-weightless, Rat L Trap.
I rarely fish small ponds because the ones around my area are all highly pressured and heavely fished, beside that i´ve allways been more of a lakes and rivers guy. Butt wen i do make a small 2/3 hours session on one of them i allways find myself trowing the same things... a Zoom Fat Albert Grub on a 3/8oz jig head and/or a Zoom finesse worm/Zoom Ultravibe speed craw on a T-rig! It may lead me to a dink fest kinda session most off the times butt i rarely get skunked and sometimes i do manage to trick a fattie...
