Fabacher Field Pond Lafayette/broussard
 

Those of you who fish this pond, I've been going check it nearly every day at lunch to see if the bass were bedding yet and today I saw a couple beds started. They had a pair of 3-5lb bass on both of them. They wouldn't touch my plastics even when dangled an inch in front of their noses. They were just 4-5 feet off the bank.

I noticed last spring the same thing. They wouldn't touch a soft plastic bait. But I kept seeing that anytime a bream would swim anywhere near the bed those bass would take off after it aggressively. I think I'm going to go get a bream imitation hard bait and see what they do with it.

You can barely see the outline of the fish just above that twigs tip.

put a speed craw in the bed

Thanks. I'll try that. I didn't have any craw type baits. Just lizards and brush hogs.

brush hogs and detach the bottom part of the wing off of the body

make sure your line is not knicked and knot is good and tight. I lost a 9+ on toledo due to line failure.

Treble hook!!

Lol. That's would be easy to do too! They don't budge at all.

Live bait. Lizard, frog, bream etc.

catch you a small bream and put a treble hook in his back and drop him in!

Sometimes itll take an hr or more to make one bed fish bite... and sometimes they arent ready. Go back the next day and bam first cast.

not a secret any more, been going there cause it is close to the house, been seeing more and more people showing up, and the more people that show up the more trash gets left behind, its a shame how quick one little spot can be ruined so quickly

I worked on a 6 pounder in cooper field for over a hr the other day. When she finally hit I set hook and broke her off. Still trying to get my hook back.

Big bite baits make some great bream baits to throw at beds. Rojas useed them on toledo bend.
