Thank you Tyler, as a 100% bank angler and just started fishing last June your times really do help and greatly appreciate how you shine lite on pond fishing for us without boats
In my limited experience, there isn't as much of a movement/positioning pattern in ponds compared to big lakes but the aggressive feed-up is noticeable. In the pond I fish most of the time they have been absolutely crushing soft plastic swimbaits (such as a Rage Swimmer) for the last 3 weeks or so. This pond is very shallow (2-3 feet) and full of grass, so it limits what you can use...but I caught a 8.6 lb fish out there on a 4.75" green pumpkin Rage Swimmer last week.
I'm bout to tie on a fire craw bladed jig with a red rage tail craw. I want to see if the reds and oranges work in the ponds at this time of year. What do you think?
Thank you kindly for the insight on the “pre-spaw/spawn” dilemma, for “pond fishing”! I agree entirely that most content other TH-camrs put out is for the “big boat/big body of water” fisherman. So, this short tutorial was very inspiring for us pond fisherman(that mainly fish from the shore). I can’t wait to get out to my honey holes and rip some lips! Thanks again!!
I feel like Tyler does such a great job at presenting and explaining a topic; that if he were to post a video about how a rock(or whatever random object) can catch you a fish, I would be outside looking for said rock(or whatever random object), without thinking twice. Anyways, great video and keep up the awesome work.
Love your pond videos. I'm primarily a bank angler and I have learned how to flip what all the boat guys are saying to apply it to my ponds. I love that I don't have to do that with your videos. I have the same lipless you were throwing and I had a 9 fish day with it. When I went back to the same spot the next day I caught 5 more. Loving that success thanks to your advice. Keep it up!!
I was hoping you were going to do a video like this after watching the pond fall transition vid and this one did not disappoint! Great info and the way you explained spawn was awesome, " The male bass lays his uh.... Fish juices." That was hilarious I literally laughed out loud! Keep up the great work, Tyler!
Everything that happens on large lakes happens in ponds but on a smaller scale. Bass also spawn much earlier in ponds because they warm up faster. They also cool down faster so the hot fall bite starts sooner in ponds.
I’ve been a fisherman since I was 8 (I’m 24 now) and didn’t really learn how to strategically fish til i was 21 and between you, wired to fish, and tactical bassin I’ve learned so much
I'm 53 yrs old now, but as a kid and all through my teens I fished ponds all the time, there is one thing I used to do during "prespawn", I would tie on a 1/2 ounce black/blue jig with a craw trailer and and throw it as far as I could out into the middle of the upper section of the pond and fish it back. Depth in a pond is a relative term but let's say down in front of the dam you may have 8 feet maybe 10 and the upper end would shallow up to say 2, 3, maybe even a foot in places, but that mid range in the upper end that averaged about 3 to 4 feet, that's where I would catch my big ones when I knew the spawn was coming, but the temperatures were just not there yet, wich is generally late February, early March, and on an unseasonably warm year could even start in January. Of course this depends on what part of the country you're in. So is there really a prespawn in ponds? Yes or no, I do know that what I just described exists, not gonna get you a ton of bites, but they will be whatever bigger bites the pond has to offer, unless of course you're in better ponds than most of what I was able to fish.
Fantastic vid T! Many of us just fish ponds and don’t have big bass boats. I have a 1.5 acre pond and it holds some giants for OH. Missed a 7-8 2 days ago as I thought I hooked a carp so I didn’t set the hook hard enough! Then realized it was the big girl of the pond and it was to late. I get slammed on big swimbaits, big square bills, and big lip chatter baits. I always go bigger in pre-spawn as I always tend to catch my biggest bass then!! Keep up the great work Tyler jj
Thanks for the pond info! When bank fishing a neighborhood pond and not getting bites, is it better in your opinion to stay put in 1 place, but change baits a few times, or is it better to walk around to different spots with the same bait for a while before changing? Thanks!
Thanks for this video. The main pond / lake I fish is a small creek with two dams put in, max depth 6ft that can be cast from bank to bank. Late fall and winter means I can fish treble lures because all the vegetation is gone and I can get by wiht the 4-6ft lures. Moving into spring I fish that 4-6 ‘ depth until I start seeing vegetation sprouting then I switch to 0-3’ treble lures and single hook swim jigs / chatterbaits etc. ... i use a lot of the prespawn videos out there for color ideas and to learn about new lures that can be fished shallow. I still can’t believe red works. Red lipless, craw patterned og tinys have been what’s been working.
Try my brother God bless 🙏, The ponds I fish here in the south west fort worth tx area are pretty big 2 to 20 acre ponds in the winter there on the bottom in the grass and veg. A little tuff but still hit when bait is right by them. Spawn time they stay around 4 ft and some a little shallow. Usually when it's cold fish around the dam. Keep up the awesome teaching my brother God bless tight lines maybe we can hook up someday and catch some fish
Thank you Tyler for remembering us bank walkers!!!! I get tired of watching all of the pros who are continually teaching for boat fisherman or how to fish tournaments. I don't have time to deal with a boat or tournaments so if I can get out for an hour at night before the sun goes down at the local/neighborhood pond I'm there and your pond fishing videos have been very helpful!!! Once and a while I can get out to the bigger lakes but bank areas to fish from are limited and highly pressured so I am usually (90% of the time) fishing ponds close to home.
It's hard to not like Tyler. The man has a lot of knowledge and you always learn new things when you watch his videos. I could be in the middle of looking for a video on how to fix my car and if a TRF video shows up on my feed you know dang well I'm going to watch it. Keep up with the amazing content.
Tyler my guy! I think I speak for most of us subscriber's and fans. We miss this intro song. This intro song and ya ya yas have been my jig and fluke tempo for 2 years lol
Thanks for this I’m from northern Delaware and 85% of the ponds I fish are similar to this always from the bank the only time I boat fish is salt water.
Please don't forget to Try a Chatter Bait in Prespawn! Excellent in even Shallow Water! Use Larger Trailer & Mono Line to Keep Up If Needed! Hang On!!! Works Excellent in the Fall for Northern Pike!!! Western Nebraska!
Excellent video! Actually using your videos to help teach my grand-nephew. Thanks! Please don't take this wrong because it's just a point of clarity, which, doesn't really need to be made, but... a "Pond", is a small, natural body of water typically without a dam. Most of what we have in Texas are not ponds, but Stock Tanks, or Tanks. These are man-made bodies of water, built for the purpose of watering Livestock. Hence the term, "Stock Tank". Being from Texas I figure you probably already know this. But for the sake of your subs who may not have known, I thought I would mention it. Again, Great videos, keep on teaching, and of course, Catching Fish!
Quality content on a much needed topic. You the man Tyler! Any chance of discussing similar topics around smaller rivers and how weather affects those, especially spring fed rivers that stay about the same temp year round?
Is there a rhyme or reason for selecting color for lipless crankbaits? The ponds I fish in have either bluegill or some shad, and the water goes from clear to super mukry. Thanks for the videos.
Is spring okay to throw a frog? Besides a classic sinko that’s the only other thing I have luck on. It’s so fun to watch the explosion. Take care and thanks for the vid!
@@TylersReelFishing Here in south ga they’ve started spawning in ponds, cold front went through yesterday but it’s warmer today. Struggling to get bites. Know of anything that should work?
Have been waiting for this type of video. Great job Tyler. How do you define a pond? Would a 170 acre body of water with a maximum depth of 8-11 feet qualify as a pond?
@@TylersReelFishing Thanks so much really appreciate you getting back to me. Have struggled with trying to figure out how much fish move in my small lake, giving its shallow nature and size.
Tyler, would you say that the best time, and most fun time to catch bass is during the pre spawn, and late fall? Or do you have a different preference. I catch most of my big bass in the pre spawn but also late fall, i was wondering when do you mostly catch your biggest fish of the year?
I’m in Rhode Island fish the Blackstone river caught bass one weekend ago and bass males were leaking Sperm already makes no sense but . Who knows anything
Hey Tyler this is driving me nuts I swear You are filming in my secret fishing spot and I swear I saw your truck you wouldnt happen to have been fishing at la caima pond in stone bridge were you?
@@TylersReelFishing I’m actually pretty surprised to hear that but I know New England isn’t known for largemouth bass fishing. I know you’re probably seeing me comment on all your videos now😂 I’m just desperately trying to figure out what the deal is with the largemouth over here in RI lol. Anyway if you ever do get to mass, Connecticut, or Rhode Island please make a video, I definitely value your opinion when it comes to bassin 💪
Thank you Tyler, as a 100% bank angler and just started fishing last June your times really do help and greatly appreciate how you shine lite on pond fishing for us without boats
And I hope to continue to!
@@TylersReelFishing no
Thanks for not forgetting about us pond boys!
After months of fishing I caught my first fish a week ago. Not a bass but it was such a great feeling
You will get it! Keep going

Awsome video Tyler keep up the amazing work
This helps a lot for the ponds. Thank you

Still winter to pre-spawn for you!

You’ve gotta have multiple accounts my guy 😂 I hear you!
California late March- April spawn at least my lake/pond. The place is HUGE but it’s only 30 feet deep and California weather is warm !
As someone who just moved from GA to NJ… I appreciate this vid haha
Tyler your video is big help.keep in touch
Great content topic!
Going out this weekend to some ponds.
Hope you had success!

Needed this Video . Thanks .
You might be most informative TH-camr I’ve ever watched
I appreciate that! That’s my whole goal
Great stuff as always!!
Tyler, you continue to make the exact videos that fishermen need on TH-cam 👏👏👏
I’m so glad!
There’s a 500 acre small lake/pond by my house so I love the video.
I’m in Michigan by the way
Then those big lake videos do apply to you. 500 acres is not a pond
@@TylersReelFishing that’s how I fish it. Been waiting for it to melt. Been a couple weeks now. Got vacation next week. Can’t wait
That pond definitely needs fewer bass! Maybe keep a few next time and invite us all over for a fish fry and help the pond out a bit!
Next time!
Thanks for this as I fish ponds like 90% of the time.
Thanks. Great info.

I would love to cover that! I just don’t have a whole lot of that around where I live
Thanks, Tyler. Good info, video.
i love the music in the intro. Who is the group that sings it?
Is there a rhyme or reason for selecting color for lipless crankbaits? The ponds I fish in have either bluegill or some shad, and the water goes from clear to super mukry.

Any plans on inviting your subscribers to a fishing trip? I'd be down for that.
Maybe some subscriber pond tournaments!
Not many open slots for that sadly. I do giveaway trips though for different charities throughout the year!

Isn't a pond a body of water without an aphobic zone. Regardless of the size of the body water? Lake has both zones?
