If your fishing a larger local pond, try fishing near it's dock or any structure you can find in the deeper parts. Try throwing a Senko or other 4-6 inch jerkbaits out past the structure, then
SLOWLY reel the bait in. Jerk it up a little and then let it sink then reel in some slack and repeat. Most strikes will come when it is sinking-look for your line to get tight. Use a size 4 wide gap bass hook and be sure to really set the hook hard-these baits are thick and it takes some effort to get it through, even if you have stuck the point all the way through before hand (recommended). This technique helped me land a 5 lber and two 2 lbers yesterday. Lunker recap:
- Fish deep structures (Dock, drain pipe, logs)
- Use 4-6 in Senkos or other Jerkbaits with size 4 wide gap hooks
- Reel slowly, jerking upward and letting it sink for a few seconds
- Set hook hard and make sure to pull hook point all the way through bait before hand
Also, don't expect this method to work everywhere, just in good ponds with little pressure.
