Fishing A New Pond: Where To Start
Come along as Tim explores a new pond! Fishing new water is always a gamble but Tim has a simple method of finding fish quickly. Listen closely as he approaches the water and gives tips on the productive parts of any pond, while catching a few fish.
When approaching a new body of water Tim likes to start off in search of a giant. After that, he focuses on topwater, then drops down to baits that will contact the bottom. Once on bottom he uses the baits to gain an understanding of the underwater contours. In doing so he's able to gauge the size of the fish in the pond, the overall depth, and where fish are positioned, very quickly.
Below you'll find links to the baits he had tied on for this pond adventure. We've included the exact colors, rigging components, and some of the rod and reel combos he was using. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
