River vs. Pond

Location: River, then main stocked pond

Bait: Mousetail, then Powerbait Eggs

Rig: Bottom Rig (slip weight with floating bait).

I tried my luck on the local river that runs through town. It is usually really active but I was hoping the colder weather would reduce the crowd...it did not. I tried a couple of spots but they were not ideal and fruitless after trying several baits.

I moved back to the main stocked pond near my house. Threw on some eggs and went to work. Much better results.
