What to use?

[macojoe]

I have not been near the fresh water for 13 years!! Even then I had no idea what I was doing, but now with no boat and getting to the salt getting harder, I have decided to try it again.
They have just started stocking the trout around here and plan to go looking for some. I have a ton of ponds in the new area I just moved to so why not?

this is my freshwater rig. it belonged to my dad & when he passed on, i kept it. it's a 98 15' cajun w a 40 hp merc. i never got into the freshwater stuff( too many stumps & snakes), but i do like drifting down the river fly fishing. i also like the no salt corrosion on the trailer. this is a 98 painted trailer with the original bearings. i don't know much about trout, we catch them in the mountains on canned corn. but hey mj, bad fishing is better than no fishing.

Pond fishing is awsome MJ.

Just to get started, rig up one of your lighter spinning outfits with 6 or 8 pound line and grab a few 1/16 and 1/8 ounce rooster tails. Everything in the pond eats roostertails.

I have nothing fresh water, and 0 money to get anything right now :bat: I might get a Batman rod for cheap??

Flea matkets and yard sales...you can be fishing for $10.

Pond fishing.... Everything in the pond eats roostertails.

Absolutely true! Used to call them "fish killers". The tiny trebles are a problem unhooking when they get inhaled.

Best all around lure for the larger pond dwellers is a spinnerbait. You can fan cast an entire industrial park pond on a lunch break. Always good for a few bass and pickerel. Single hook does no damage and is pretty weedless.

I have 0 fresh water gear!!but will get some of these when I can, I need to get a rod and real first!!
