Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Found Tons of Baby Bass in my Trout Pond

My bass slow way down as the water cools. What lures worked in warm water do not in cooler water. I've found you need to use a slower bait and that the bass strike zone is much smaller, i.e. they are not willing to go far to strike. You might try minnows under a bobber with a very slow retrieve. Good luck!
