I've never caught a bass back there, the only ones I've even seen were dead floating on top of the water. I've heard people talking about blue cats being in that pond, but I couldn't ever get them to bite(I'm a crappy catfisherman anyway). I wonder how deep it actually gets? I know where the brush line is it's fairly shallow. I would've liked to have fished it before the levee broke.
Edit: I did watch a couple of guys put a canoe in back there early last summer, didn't stick around to see how they did though.
