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.
