Hey guys, need advice on fishing this pond it has a lot of wood cover around shore and has rock and wood mix out from shore avg. depth about 2 foot to about 10 with deep spot about 25. I am on the gulf coast of alabama water temp. now mid to lower 50's and somewhat stained. what do you suggest. Thanks

My #1 pond producer this past year during the fall (when my water temps in NY where the same as yours now) was a GYCB Fat Ika rigged backwards on a 4/0 Wide Gap Owner hook. Green Pumpkin with black flakes. Hopping it in spurts off the bottom and letting it flutter on slack line.

Make sure your throwing parallel to the shore and don't give the shallow fish a chance to see you. Work your way around the pond in this manner. Are you shorebound?

 I fish ponds and small lakes mostly and this time of year probably jigs, soft plastics and suspending jerk baits. All of them slow ...
