Great info, basslover! Thank you!

I think sometimes as fishermen we get a little stuck in our ways on how we fish, so it's great hearing what others are using and doing.

Clear water is not an issue with my pond due to a consistent heavy bloom so I never have to worry about being seen. Although I wish it were as I envy those seeing spawn beds and swimming fishes!

I change up frequently on artificial baits, as well as presentation but I'll have to try worms and small BG as I don't have any Shiners. I do catch an occasional HSB, with my best luck with a "pellet fly" at feeding time when I toss out the AM LMB food. Yet not often as I don't want them to become shy on feed (don't know if they will or not, I just don't want to take the chance of them being reluctant to feed). I'm also going to order some Stubby Steve's and see how they work.

And it's hard to beat top water baits, definitely my favorite!

Thanks again for the reply and info!
