pond problems - no bass feeding

its a hard habit to break

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

15 min after daylight and befor dark

Slow jig the deepest spots

Slow jig heavy shade like cypress trees.

Thats about it

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.

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

Live Bait . Go buy some shiners or gold fish caro rig deep water. Score

i have tried small bream under a cork = no luck
may do the carolina thing. thanks

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.

me and the kids were swimming in it last week and top 5-6' is HOT. only thing in that zone seems to be small/yearling bass and small bream. ive been digging deep with cranks and soft plastics w/o luck
