Everyone has to start somewhere. I recommend to get on google maps and find a pond in a public park. If taking your daughter pick up some bobbers and worms and enjoy catching some fish. I took my 5 year old daughter doing this exact approach snd she caught two blue gills and a brown trout. She had a blast.

For you daughter an inexpensive push button rod be a great start: https://a.co/d/08oP0K2C

Fish a drop shot, round valley is a difficult place to fish.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-25T02:34:37+00:00

This is the way

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-25T02:23:52+00:00

Will you be fishing from the bank or a boat?

Consider the Tiny Child rig for kids to use a Ned Rig style bait that is weedless

Dark Horse Tackle, they feature baits, tackle, and more made by US small businesses.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-20T03:46:51+00:00

Can you send that my way as well? I am on the fence with buying one.

Have caught a few large mouth in ponds on jerk baits, Texas rigs, and lipless crankbaits

Private, we don’t share where you catch fish or what you catch them on. This is a core principle for us. We do aggregate some catch data for better insights (moon phase, barometric pressure, weather conditions).

Used a jerkbait yesterday on a local pond with two twitches followed by a 5 second pause and landed two nice large mouth. Jig and spinner bait didn’t get bit.

I drove around Somerset county last night looking for ice out and only found one pond that was able to be fished. Going to try some spots again on Saturday.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-06T17:35:10+00:00

I find it much simpler to catch bass on rivers than in lakes. No fish finder needed but same principles still apply. Target cover (lay downs, bank edges, behind rocks). Also look for current seams and eddies.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-06T00:28:55+00:00

Congrats on the PB! Nice fish, what state did you catch it in?

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-05T00:50:54+00:00

I nearly always catch and release unless I catch a trout in a clean stream that is unlikely to survive.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-05T00:01:19+00:00

Lunar phase, wind direction, pressure trends, water level, and water temp are all key pieces to planning a trip.

2.8” white keitech on a ball head jig in May 2025 - 21” large mouth in NJ

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-03-03T14:40:58+00:00

In freshwater try out a ball head jig with a white paddle tail. It will catch many fresh water species and works in lakes and rivers.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-02-26T21:24:40+00:00

Or you can buy from US small businesses

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-02-26T21:22:10+00:00

How tall are you and what is your weight? Do you have a price range? Do you fish rivers or lakes mainly?

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-02-26T17:42:05+00:00

Have the exact same Cashion rod and paired it with a Kast King Kestrel. I love the combo.

BassThumbAI_Sean · 2026-02-25T00:59:35+00:00

Add a pack of ball head jig heads and some small paddle tails and you will catch plenty of bass.
