New pond to fish

Featured Replies

A buddy of mine joined a deer lease that has a 6 acre pond on it. I went to look at it today and we happened to run into the pond biologist that the land owner has to manage the pond. It was stocked with bluegill in the spring of 2018 and he is going to restock it in March or April of this year based on low bluegill numbers in his last survey. Bluegill are the main forage for the fish according to him. This pond occasionally gets fished by the owner and club members, but with little success. It does get heavy vegetation growth during the summer, so I plan on flipping the slop later this year. Any ideas of how to attack the prespawn?  I was thinking spinner bait or blades jig and soft plastics to start, but was looking to see if anyone had any recs for bluegill stocked ponds. The biologist did say that there are some big fish in the pond, but he probably tells everyone of his customers that. TIA. 

BG Chatterbait, Livetarget BG swimbait*, Keitech with a dipped tail, GP/watermelon senko with a dipped tail, BG spinnerbait.
