just thought I would ask what lure or soft bait is best to see if a pond,creek,ect holds lmb

Can't go wrong with a Beetle Spin or small spinnerbait like a Mini King.

always run a weightless t-rigged senko thats is one of my go to setups then try a weightless wacky worm on your edges and under brush or trees then/or spinnerbait!!!

Rooster tail(small, 1/6th oz is best for small waters)can be deadly for lmb's in creeks or small bodies of water. I swear by em!

I ask because I live in white settlement I was driving on the access road by 820 heading toward white settlement road from west point road well I passed this little creek looking thing [ditch] if you know the area it by that business park by the never finished building that little ditch looked super fishy so I stopped and got my little fishing pole out keep one with me at all times and threw a weightless basic worm t-rigged and instantly pulled a big bluegill out was just heading to the store for the wife no time to try to much but in the morn im going to hit it on the way to work any one know were im talking about?

I also love rooster tails... caught some pretty nice bass off em'!

We got some pond jumpers that will kill them!

Rooster tail ( crome 1/4 oz )..My fav for Bass fishing...I always catch fish with this lure..Also 3in pumkin seed grub worm with 1/8oz jig head..or 1/4 jig head..My go to bass bait..

A drop shotted 4.5" Roboworm will always get bit if fish are there. I've caught everything from 4" gills to 7lb bass on that little worm. Anytime I fish it where I know there are fish, I get bit.

just an update on this place fished three parts that look like they hold water permanently just caught a whole bunch of blue gill with a bright yellow beetle spin still great fun for fishing in a drainage ditch these little blue gill were perfect bait size hey that gives me an idea anyone want to buy some blue gill for bait lol no but really if anyone has kiddos that like to catch fish I would check this spot out

Is that the spot by the Wells Fargo?

Yes sir sure is. There is another little creek right by that one but it has a private property sign but the part off of the 820 service road is all I have seen of the second creek. Some kids that live in my apt. complex told me that sand bass run up it .

I have to agree with the Rooster Tail recommendations. 1/6 oz. is the best size. I do well on ponds with a chartreuse, Fire Tiger, or the Frog color. Silver and white are also good.

Never been there but, YEARS ago me and a friend use to fish a run off near 377 and 20. Funny thing was we would catch 2 foot channel cats out of the tunnels that ran under the street. People would drive by and look at use like we were crazy hold a fishing pole on the side of the road..A few time we would catch nice BASS and big sun fish out of that spot..

Can somebody link to a rooster tail? I want to know what y'all are talking about because I too need something to test some waters. Thanks
