I have a pond I want to shore fish.  It has on small stream running into it, and drains into grate on the opposite side of the pond.  Its maybe 3-4 acres, and I can find no rock/sand or anything other than mud on the banks.  There is a ton of lily pads and lots of down trees in the water, so finding structure is not a problem, but in prespawn what should I focus on in there are no obvious beds/staging areas to focus on?  Thanks!

well the fish have to spawn somewhere.

places i would look are shallow flats about 1-4 feet deep. if you cant see how deep a section of water is, then get a rapala countdown. these baits were designed to fall at one foot per second. just count it down until it hits the bottom.

good luck!

You can find the sites, by walking along the shore.The little bowl shaped "dents" in the mud are spawn sites.
