Hi guys im starting to get into the canals/ponds scene since i seen some nice ones around noone fishing on them and was wondering what are good lures or bait for some bass or anything locally. So far got a few spinning rods, just bought a baitcasting combo so i can learn it and have a couple of spinnerbaits and worms, what else is commonly used here for some decent fish. Im willing yo drive around trying places every other weekens so thats not an issue.Thanks

A good all round productive lure is the Zoom Super Fluke. Water Melon seed or black.  4 0 hook weedless unweighted.

I also had good success with spinnerbaits. Then there's old school methods like shiners.

Got 1 1/8 3/8 and 1/2   3/8 added a worm to it and i see them follow it but guess its too big for small fish

Day in and day out a 4-6" plastic worm Texas rigged with a 1/16 oz weight will out fish anything.  If you can see the fish it can see you and usually won't bite.  I use 6 and 8 lb monofilament or fluorocarbon line.

Thanks for the tip...how far from lure u put the weight?

^^ Texas rig.. Weight slides to the head of the worm. You can pinch a split shot about 10" up from bait instead for a different look. Try the texas deal.

Thanks for tip got some splitshots will get them a try

For the Texas rig use bullet weights.  A split shot up the line is called either a split shot rig or a Carolina rig depending how large of a weight you're using.  My go to rig is the Texas with either 1/16th or an 1/8 oz weight if it's windy or the water is deeper than 15'.

A small jerkbait has always been good for me. Yo-Zuri has made some smaller ones in bright flashy colors that have worked well. of course a good old prop bait is always fun.

The yozuri 3ds is what you're looking for. That's when I really started catching fish. Snook, bass, peas, tarpon, anything really

black with blue fleck senko fished either wacky or texas w/ or w/o weight.
cane toads and other frog baits.
chrome or fire tiger rattle trap particularly for peacocks
don't try to use typical bass soft plastics for peacocks.

Beetle Spin!

Red rooster tail for peacocks. Gold Rapala minnow works well on peacocks and large mouth also.

Where in Florida are you catching common carp?

Walk N Pop 67-1
NOTICE- Topwater fishing is an addiction and may replace slower/boring baits. 
Upon hitting the water - Twitch twice stop. Slow swim to another pop stop.

You can also pin the weight to the hook with a toothpick. Slide weight to the hook, stick a toothpick in between line and weight and break off extra.

along with watermelon seed also throw and twitch zoom superfluke in pearl white.   VERY effective in broward area.   YO-ZURI 3ds minnow in gold also destroys the local freshwater fish

Rollin

Zoom Horny Toad any color, but I like Black and June bug best. Lighter wire 4/0 offset hooks are best. Top water bite is kool. Many ways to fish it, but just walking down the bank casting ahead is pretty deadly

do any of you know where to catch blue tilapia in weston or cities near weston such as sunrise or davie?
