What do our ratings mean?

POOR day basically means the fish will either steal all your bait or will not even touch your line.
FAIR day means that you may catch one or two fish but you will have to work hard to do so.
GOOD day means that you will catch enough fish to feel gratified.
BEST day means that you will catch something almost every time you cast your line in the water.

Do you think tomorrow would be a good day to bass fishing in farm ponds and what bait should I use in the ponds

Heather

We think any day is a good day to go fishing – if you are looking for a successful outing though – Sept 18 and 19 are good days to fish in the evening, September 24 and 25 are good days to fish in the morning, and Sept 26 and 27 are BEST DAYS to fish – preferably in the morning. I usually use spinnerbait in ponds and small lakes. Good luck!

Brittany Phillips

When it says poor in the evening for fishing does that mean that the morning time is poor too or could you have a good morning and a poor evening? Am I making sense lol?
