				Says it in the title well first off if you have a small pond that you like to fish throw a wacky rigged senko peferely 4 inch and catch em up. Well me and my buddy caught 42 bass and 4 kickers my buddy whos in 2nd grade caught a 6.6lb all by himself and i got the rest of the kickers including a 5.1lb a 3.6 and a 2.5 the rest were around 1 -2 pounds so i promise your local ponds will produce as long as you fish a wacky rig my colors are junebug, watermelon red flake, watermelon candy, and pumpkin with chartreuse tip. And guess what all the senkos we use are ebay bought  a no name brand the kills them.                                             |

				sounds like you had a blast!! do you have a pic of the little man holding that big bass? I would have been out of my mind at that age. I didn't get my first "big" bass til i was 12, and that one still hangin around in my moms cellar. _________________ Glory is in the big ones, not the numbers.

				Damn went to my local pond for an hour and caught a huge skunk with my wacky rigs...fml I guess. Although earlier in the year I killed them there with senkos including over 4 pound fatty. However the lady two times I hit my pond I got taunted by bass over 3 pounds who would swim within feet of me. _________________ You know it was a good day when your thumb is all scratched up. |

				What do ya want to do....golf or fish?  Cause I cant even describe how crabby they get when you combine the two.  I havent snuck onto a golf course since I was your age.  They were even crabbier about that.  Obviously, respecting private land is part of being a fisherman.  It's part of the code that binds people that respect the whole sport.  I joke about it (except when I pay for a day on their land.) _________________ Dave.....  I can be a pain in the bass. |

				Well we can "pay" to play golf if u want or u can fish the tradition ponds with me cause they don't care if I do. Wallingford country club didn't care either but its cause i'm a paying member so I don't think I can get u there. _________________ You know it was a good day when your thumb is all scratched up. |
