Same problem in Bama. Caught 35 one morning early June. Nothing since... Private 4 acre stocked pond. With plenty of cover

Google the double zoo-loo, I think that's what it's called

Right now bass fishing is awful unless you can find a creek with some cold water and deep holes, go jiggerpoling and profit.

15 min after daylight and befor dark
Slow jig the deepest spots
Slow jig heavy shade like cypress trees.
Thats about it

First two and last two hours of the day with falling water is your only hope. Since your pond water doesnt change..

My MIL has a pond in ETX that experiences similar patterns. The only things they consistently eat in the summer are small flukes rigged weightless and twitched slowly, dead-sticked senkos, and live blue gill. Super early or super late they will come up to hit a small buzzbait or chugger too occasionally. It's a brutal time to fish. Try fishing it at night as that may be when they're feeding.

I caught 9 in my pond last weekend... my pond isnt that big and the deepest spot is 14 feet. I caught most on top water baits late in the afternoon!

If you can get to a river the catfish bite is pretty damn good. At least is in west Alabama.

Or when it gets cloudy.
They will push the eat button.

What's weird, this is true for my area for all lakes except one.
There is this long skinny oxbow lake near our farm, about 20 ft deep at it's deepest point but most of it is about 8-10 ft deep. In the spring and early summer I can't catch bass in it. But once it gets to July through September, and only if it's hot and humid out, I can go and will catch 20 or more 3lb or larger bass almost every time. Chartreuse spinnerbait only
It's the weirdest shite I've ever seen.

Hah. Here and there. I've been on a drinking sabbatical. I might stop by the brewery soon to catch up with everybody. I'm still around though. Heard great things about g&g.

To the OP: if they won't touch bream under a cork then I don't know what to say.
