ill give a report before asking my question :)
fished a private pond by my school for a few hours this morning. ended up catching 3 bedding bass and one fish on a blind cast. the fish were between 1-1.5 pounds and all were released, though unfortunatly one of them took a liking to my roboworm and swollowed it along with my jighead before i could set the hook. the water was very clear and it made sneaking up on the bass very hard.


i go to school next to this small pond. the water is crystal clear and weeds cover the whole bottom. Ive mostly been fishing senkos and texas rigged roboworms but it is hard to fish the roboworms without dragging it through the weeds. i also tried jerkbaits for one fish and drop shotting but the bass show no interest in that. my question is, what other options do i have?

the roboworms stay fairly weedless through the "pond grass" (thats what a local called it...) but i dont think a bass would be able to see it since it is under all that grass. the main forage is bluegills and crawdads.
