The Best Baits For Summer Pond Fishing! ( And Bank Fishing )

These are the baits we use to overcome shore fishing's unique challenges! We grew up walking creeks, ponds, and lakes in search of bass. Along the way we've developed a pretty solid strategy to catch those fish without spending a fortune and getting frustrated. Here is what we use and how we apply it to pond fishing to catch more fish!

Whether you're a pond fisherman, a bank fisherman, or you boat on shallow bodies of water, this information will help you succeed this Summer. The key to successful pond fishing is having a mix of reaction and finesse presentations. Its an added bonus if you're able to do it with inexpensive baits as well because when you're limited to shore, some break offs are bound to happen. 

Below you'll find links to the exact baits and gear discussed in the video. We've also included some great "bang for the buck" rod and reel combos. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

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.
