A Simple Fishing Plan for Starbird Pond

When you first fish Starbird, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Starbird Pond

Spring on Starbird is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Starbird can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
