The small jig what color do you think i should try? i have now been trying to get'em for a whole week and nothing,....well i take that back i got one on a BIG chatterbait black and red color. but that was just a reaction bite and would a drop shot work in 4feet of water?

That's my suggestion, I would drop shot the hell out of them, I love fishing my own worms, but when it comes to dropshotting there is nothing better than a 4 inch springworm. http://www.productolure.com/proddetail.php?prod=SW4100. There are many serious money earning anglers that fish this worm. It's simply deadly when other lures fail to produce

Ok i think that i will try a drop shot but i don't know very much about it, I will tell all that i know about the drop shot 1.tie a small bait hook about 2feet from the bottom of your line 2.place a tear weight at the bottom of the said line 3.put your worm on the hook and cast it in 4.lightly lift your rod tip so shake your worm 5.repeat

if anyone can fill me in on any of the hard to learn tips for dropshoting i would love to know.

Try a trick worm wacky style. Insert a #2 owner mosquito hook in front of the egg sack from the top, turn it and bring it back up on the back side of the egg sack....weightless. Try black for this is an easy color to get but if you can find Tomato give it a try.....its killer,

Toss the worm in and let it fall for a couple seconds...twitch it 2 or 3 semi hard times on slack line ...let it fall repeat. When one grabs it he'll never let go. If you have any weeds it really shines when throwing into the pockets. IT WILL SNAG fairly easy if in timber and it will lightly catch in the weeds but you can pop it free....sometimes thats what it takes or at other times deadsticking works.

If you can't catch 'em like that I'll agree with Skeeter.....

try a salmo hornet ,the #4 i think, throw it out past a tree or log and then s...l...o...w...l...y wind it over the tree. Make sure you get the floater, the sinker will get you hung up. this is a bait i found at gander Mt. and have caught a ton of fish in ponds and other small bodies of water doing this.

Another thought, try a small popper or walking bait, and tie a dropper from back hook with flourocarbon, then a wet fly. kind of a version of fly-n-bubble. they're attentive to the topwater, then notice the tiny morsel....

In order for folks to help even better, put your location in your profile, it will show your location on your posts. If your water is unusually murky, it's possible your lake or pond has had a change over, making the fishing off for a couple weeks. If not, then the above and following tips may help.

MAybe you should move to a different depth of water.
