Visiting family in South Carolina for the holidays. Fished in these ponds plenty of times with great success but the last few days has been skunk fest. Tried chatterbaits, wacky, a little bit of top water, little rapala and nothing. Talked to a few other fishermen and they are in the same boat. I was here last year at the same time and the fishing was great.

I’d try a wacky worm and if that doesn’t work, I’d try a spinnerbait. 🤷🏻♂️
Green pumpkin or pb&j trick worm on a drop shot. Throw it, let it sink (with bale flipped in case you get hit right away), then draw tight, let slack then rod tip back up. Wait a sec, reel it in some, then stop, draw tight, drop rod tip, then rod tip back up and wait. Repeat. If there’s anything in there you’ll get bit.
Give us an update on what worked. I’m going Fri/Sat also in SC
Spinnerbait at first to locate, then a wacky worm or drop shot to pick them apart.
Balsa B crankbair
If fishing for bass,spinnerbait or chatterbait as a locator. Texas rig or wacky or neko to clean them up
If fishing for whatever TF has fins, a white 1/8oz inline spinner, a pink underspin Roadrunner w/ white or chartreuse curly tail grub, beetlespin
Lipless crank
Something small and subtle on a dropshsot, especially since you already mentioned a few others I’d try first
not one person in this thread said texas rig.
