Fishing Tips, Tactics, How-To info: 

Light or medium weight tackle works well at the ponds. Warmwater fishing is best from spring through fall. For bass, use spinners or surface lures in the morning and evening, and deeper water lures, jigs, or plastic baits during mid-day. For panfish, use a bobber and small baited hook or jig. Fish for bass and panfish near weed beds, submerged logs or other areas that provide cover. Catfish can be caught using bait fished on the bottom. Fish for trout using a small spinner, or bait such as worms or salmon eggs.
