If you catch a 1 lbs bass every cast in a small pond. This means two things. There are probly not large bass, and you are waisting your time. Being patient and not fishing overly productive ponds is the only way to go when hunting huge bass. Now this is not the same as fishing a pond that just doesn't support fish well. Bass also do constantly move... that is a fact. a big wise bass knows the shade under the log is cool, and food is drawn there. He will not sit under that log all day, but he will stay close. Why is your fridge and air conditioner not in the shed? Because you want to be close to those things. They need to be accessible, but you don't sit in front of your ac vent and fridge all day do you? The point is that bass will sit under that log (10-20 mins) then decide it is hot, cold, or hungry. A half acre pond should contain fish that bite every 20 casts or so if it has good potential for lunkers. Best pond fishing is right at sunset with a purple robo-worm
