I am from NEPA to, and I have the same issue. I have a medium sized pond behind my house with nothing but bass, sunfish, and some bullheads. Its probably about 15 feet deep at max, and is full of weeds. Fall and early spring are the only times I can get to it because it is covered in algae in the summer. It has some very nice bass in it. The biggest i have ever caught out of it was about 5 pounds. Mostly there are only small ones though.The water has been starting to get a thin layer of ice across the one side at night.I cant anything lately. I need some advice on what lures to try.
