Fish and Simple Baits for Redden Pond

For largemouth bass at Redden Pond, cast a compact spinnerbait or shallow crankbait to cover, then slow down with a Texas-rigged worm or small jig. Black crappie at Redden Pond respond to a 1/32- or 1/16-ounce jig and live minnows beside brush, shaded wood or the deepest water available. Bluegill in Redden Pond can be caught with a piece of worm, cricket or tiny jig under a small float, especially where shade meets vegetation.

A Short Redden Pond Game Plan

Start beside wood or vegetation, make several casts from different angles and only then try open water. Artificial structures made from materials such as Christmas trees, wood and PVC provide fish cover in Redden Pond and other Delaware small managed ponds.
