Whats a good lure to use for bass on a heavily pressured pond during March here in Indiana? Ive tried skirted jigs with trailers but i havent even gotten a nibble. When i say pressured i mean they wont even bite on live bait anymore.

I would try an unweighted plastic worm or lizzard. Toss them into shallow water around spawning beds to create a disturbance.

Coming off the cold weather, I doubt the fish are "pressured" at this time. Just not a lot of folks out fishing. If the water temps are below the mid 40s, try slowing down. Bass won't chase a fast moving bait in cold water, their metabolism is too slow. Some members have reported success by upsizing their baits. Check the old posts in the bass section.

Dang site!

Anything small and anything that will not make a huge splash when it hits the water. Fish are really spooky this time of year. If you can, I would try to cast as far as you can from the edge of the pond. As soon as they see you coming, you can kiss that fish goodbye

Like PG said...they aren't active enough to chase a lure right now. If you were talking about a lake, with deep enough water, you could fish vertical, like dropshotting, something similar to ice fishing. In a pond, I'd say you're faced with the same thing I am here in my ponds...they just ain't bitin'!
                                  

For early bass fishing up here in the Pacific Northwest I drag spinnerbaits, and I mean a painfully slow drag, or throw soft plastic lizards or creatures with little or no weight. You want something big enough to make it worth the energy and slow enough that they don't have to chase it

I live in southern Indiana and it's been tough for us so far as well. The only fish i have seen caught (12 incher) was at farm pond on a kvd 1.5 as slow as you can stand to crank it. I mostly throw texas rigs and haven't had so much as a bite in four outings. i'd have to agree with Mo...they just aint bitin yet. give it a couple weeks.

Try a wacky worm with the nose weighted a bit Or a drop shot rig think extremely slow let it sit tell you go crazy then twitch it and let it sit again.
Look for areas that warm up like rocks or wood cover . You may also need to change the structure you are fishing, as fish movement is based on there calender period not ares.

Early in the season when the waters still cold, generally the slower the better!!
