I'm definitely no fisherman!

Next time you post a picture of yourself fishing, you had better be holding a fly rod. Not saying, but just saying.

Very nice!

Sit in the sun, take it easy. Fish away.
Nothing could go wrong so don't watch this.

I just watched this video. While I am hesitant to rush to judgement, kneejerk first impression is that there is something seriously wrong with this guy. I get the feeling that if he were a fly, he would be pulling his own wings off...

Nice looking fish. It's cool that someone is teaching you how to fish.

I have a pond on my property that is a little over a half acre with bass in it, but I have no clue how to fish. I bought a fishing pole last fall, but haven't messed with it yet other than to put line on it.

Nice! Though bass aren't really great tasting. (Younger = better imo)
I'm no expert, but what I've found...

Try getting a jig and a pig (Jig with a plastic zoom super chunk craw) and play with it..
Worst case, troll it real slow (crawling it on the bottom). Or jig it, popping it up with a qucik light snap, and letting it fall back to the bottom (count to 5 or so) before jerking it again.
Quick note on jigs: Sticks/cover don't tug back.

When they are bedding, it can be tough or easy depending on your 'toolbox'. They may nudge your bait away from the bed (considering it a threat) unless you can entice them enough (with the proper bait) to make em bite!

If you really want to dig deep, research BUCK PERRY. On the surface you'll find trolling with spoonplugs... dig deeper and you'll find fish behavior and fundamentals of 'structure fishing'.

You sound like an expert to me! LOL!

If you find them in the shallows, nothing more fun than fly fishing. Having a popper float down out of the sky on top of them, let the ripple settle and then give it a twitch. Watch for the siphon funnel and give it a pull and hold on...

Que, you have to be the best-dressed fisherman I've ever seen...

This was my FIRST thought when I opened up this thread. Lol

Where's the tie, Que? If you're going to go, you might as well go all out.

This might have something to do with you not being good at hunting...deer can see plaid in a tree.

 

[Que]

I should have no problem with the deer. They almost eat out of your hands around here. A pretty big bear walked around the pond a few weeks ago. I was told they dons usually come this far down the mountain. Maybe it was very hungry or something.
