how do you get owners to let you fish there ponds? everytime i have asked they tell me no. Do you already have a small connection with them through friends or relatives?

Yep gotta get the cats figured out pretty sure if i could hook a 10lb plus one of those it would be a fun ride around the pond ! There are already tales of bass that big in there surfacing and for all the years I have eyed it have only seen a very few at one bank spot . Am very excited about the prospects here. Who knows maybe we will find somethin that will give TR a reason to fish somewhere besides home. As far as getting access I must admit being old and in work clothes every time I lay the honest speel on the prospective owner probably helps but I think in this case being local and already in at other locations helped. Oh and it only gets better the guy I met that led me to the owner is a fly rod and arrow MFG knows everyone in the local fishing and hunting biz and is an amazing wealth of knowledge when it comes to steelhead & salmon on the fly "way out of my league" . Oh He said i should bring the rods Ryan made me when he introduces me to mr Loomis he thought they were impresive! Heck i dont know but I have had an amazing streak of luck with property owners as of late I hope its because I am sincere in the love of the sport and I show respect.

haha, yea i think people see me as a 21 year old punk kid that will destroy their pond. If i was going to destroy it I would not be asking you permission to fish it. Oh well, i will just keep asking around :)

I was gona tell ya something along those lines but I didn't want to discourage you or hurt your feelings. If you can't get permission to fish a privet pond their is still plenty of great opportunity to be had fishing public waters and night time is a great time to target them. Public waters will usually receive most their fishing pressure durring the day so I belive the bass feel more comfortable at night and are more easly fooled due to lack of visibility. I'v been frequenting a public pond down the road from my house and have been injoying some decent success. The only people I ever see out their are usually targeting cat fish and have no idea what Im doing. I just slip past them to the back of the lake with the bats & muskrats and get to work. The Spro Bronzeye King Daddy Frog has been getting it done for me lately. It weighs in at an ounce and has a very large profile but even smaller fish destroy it. Here is a couple pics from last nights big adventure. The three lber choked it and this five pouder was a pleasant surprize on one of my last casts in the parking lot right before I was going to leave. You also gotta check out that chunck of meat I found dangling after a missed blow up. That alone will keep ya comming back.

Nice looking bass there. Yeah, just going to have to keep trying public ponds, I just wish there were some closer to where I live. Like 10 minutes away or an easy bike ride.

Should be good nothin big my way but a ton of pesky 10-12 " ones pecking me to death caught 1 about 1.5 lb only one I got to stick and it was early so I figured I would wait for a big one to take a pic. Let us know the tally.
