Pond Basics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of us have grown up fishing local neighborhood\u00a0ponds growing up as kids. I remember\u00a0riding my bike to the closest nearby pond in pursuit\u00a0of a fish. I have always had a strong passion for the sport of fishing, it\u2019s who I am. There are thousands of fishing opportunities across the country\u00a0to explore. Pond fishing offers easy access and good fishing. Most ponds across the Midwest offer fishing for bass, catfish, panfish, and carp. Typically ponds are stocked by the state DNR depending on the location. Many ponds are usually man made\u00a0to control runoff water that builds up in communities during storms. Neighborhood ponds are usually enjoyed\u00a0by everyone, not just for fishing purposes.<\/p>\n

Pond Residents<\/strong><\/p>\n

Residents are usually the ones paying for these ponds to be stocked and maintained. Property owners usually have rights to control who is allowed to fish ponds within there community\u00a0and who isn\u2019t. When entering\u00a0a pond\u00a0you have never fished before it\u2019s important to determine if the pond is private property or not. Some landlords\u00a0take trespassing their property ponds very seriously and may call authority in some situations. Most of the time resident won’t mind you fishing their community pond, but it’s good to be safe. Most ponds you fish across the Midwest\u00a0range from around\u00a0ten to fifteen feet of water. These ponds are usually created my man, with artificial structure added to the ponds for fish to hide in.<\/p>\n

Rigs<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s common to see many ponds with manmade structures such as gravel and rock shorelines and submerged Christmas\u00a0trees; these can be places to expect to find large concentrations of pond fish stacked up. Fish such as bass, bluegills and crappie use structure like this to feed. Pond fishing\u00a0offers easy fishing for anyone to enjoy. One of my favorite ways to fish a small pond is simply a light action spinning rod and a wacky worm. I like to rig up a six-foot spinning rod rigged with eight-pound test line to a number four hook and worm. Going back to the basics can be highly effective when targeting\u00a0pond specimens and these fish are usually willing biters. Always\u00a0be sure to check your local fishing regulations before fishing a new pond. Pond fishing can be easy and exciting for those that are just looking to have a good time on the water!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
