In my backyard is an almost 2 acre pond w a small island, the west side of the pond is shallow, namely one to three feet, minus a few spots near the dam. There are a good number of grass beds in these shallow flats, and a good bit of down timber. the north side of the island gets decent morning sun, while the south side is much more covered/shaded. I can fish from the bank just north of the island, and found a bluegill hole just past the grass bed. I also stand up paddle board fish the pond to access other areas. The water stays stained for the most part w visibility around 1 foot, getting very muddy after a storm, and remaining for a few days. I've been tossing square-bills in the shallows with pretty good success the past two weeks. Ive also caught two 5-1/2 pounders this year, one on texas rig baby brush hog, the other 1/2 oz double willow spinner. A few on the whopper plopper 130, but no hogs. My brother in law caught a nice 5-6 lb on rapalla pop-r late evening early summer, and my father in law a citation crappie yo-yoing a shad swimbait late evening about a month ago. Ive attached a pic with depths. Just looking for some general tips on what to throw and what retrieve to use to go after some hogs, any areas stick out to you? Are any Lunkers down deep during fall? Possible there are some catfish in there? What would be the best time to fish now that its fall? Better to hit the sunny side or the shade? Would a slip float and live bait produce? Thanks in advance!
