I'm really considering going out tommorow. Supposed to be in the 50's and sunny.

I have my go-to techniques for cold water (which haven't exactly been producing lately ;D) but I want to try some other things.

Here are some options and characteristics of a couple of the ponds.

One has a beaver dam. It is partialy on the shore, and the water-part is in about 2 feet of water.

This same pond has probably a 15x10 patch of sunken logs going every which way, probably in 3 feet down to 5 feet of water.

Other parts of this pond have patches of pads, which don't go too far out from the shore.

A different pond has a fallen tree which is where I caught my PB late last Spring. It is in about 4 feet of water. I caught a 6 there last year in January.

The same pond has a little fountain in someone's back yard which brings (I think) warmer water into the pond. I'm certain one cast with any lure could produce a fish, I just haven't been able to access it due to high water recently. That spot also has a big fallen tree, where I caught a 7.5 last Spring.

In both of these ponds, there is also less-significant brushpiles along the shoreline, and even a couple of fallen trees, which go into deeper water.

So, what would YOU fish in this situation? How would you fish it?

Floating jerkbait around the thick stuff, suspending jerkbait in open water.
