What Freshwater gear do I need?

[castaway300]

my 3 choices would be..
1 Manns baby minus 1
2 1/4 oz or lighter spinner bait, chartreuse skirt, colorado/willow leaf blades
3 manns straight tail worms, you wacky rig it,texas rig it,shaky head it...
I fish a lot of ponds in my line of work and these 3 baits are always with me....

I was thinking of canned corn.

yep! all you need. 1 can will last all day. Lures in a farm tank? naaaaaaaaa thats like wearing a tux and going barefoot ( all though I can imagine some of yall doing that in yalls weddings LOL). Ruff it like Tom Sawyer.

I'm with Stroop and others. Plastic lizards, spinner baits, road runners with curly tails, worms, shrimp, top water, plastics that look like minnows or lizards on a 3/0 or 4/0 worm hook with no weight since you're fishing a pond. Bullet weight 1/8 or 1/4oz to get it out further. Fished freshwater for over 40yrs. If there's catfish, a good cheese bait will work great. Ask what the guides are using. You can ask around here where you have bait camps. Use a size 10 triple hook. You don't need a lot, just enough to cover the hook. Sounds like a small hook, but it'll pull in 10lb cats and 40lb carp. If you get it on your hands, wash with Colgate toothpaste. It will take the smell off your hands. hope this helps. Lord Bless.

Dont laugh, if you going fish a farm tank dont waste your time with a rod and reel or lures. All you gonna need is a cane pole, a hook and red bubble cork and a can of sweet corn. Beleieve me.

They stay on the hook better than liver.

Great ided. Then I can fry up what I don't use!

Thanks guys. I'll drop into the walmart in Halletsville for some spinnerbait, worms, and something stinky for cats. I guess that'll do. I'll post up pix later.

mix some Clorox with water and pour down the earthworm hole. or straight clorox will work.

Don't forget to try a Lizard in Blue/black or Pumpkin/Char.., if there are any Bass in there, the will attack it.

I'm heading to Ray Scott's Private Lake in Alabama again on the 18th and I'm taking the entire Academy Freshwater inventory with me.., got to get into that freshwater mode again. Have fun!

I can't really remember how big it is and I've got no earthly idea what''s in there. In fact the thing may be bereft of fish. I just thought it would be a fun family activity to try while we're there. I'm guessing it's about 75 yards square. According to my father in law there are fish in it, but I don't think he actually knows. I will say there aren't any skeeters around it.
