FISHING TIPS When water temperatures hit 50F focus your efforts at the mouths of inflowing creeks and rivers on a water body

Aquatic plant mix varies by fishery, but whatever your pond offers, look for the reachable areas with enough water to sustain a fish population and enough holes, gaps and spacing for a fish to reach a surface meal

Target these areas with the baits we've covered, and your season should be off to a hot start

When leaders are shoved into a pocket or a plastic bag, they develop "line memory." This means the line retains the shape of the tangles or tight coils, making it look unnatural in the water and potentially scaring off fish

I am desperate and extremely appreciative to any help
