re: Anyone on the board fish ponds?

If there are shad present then they are definitely eating them. That can be tricky since they will get really keyed in on small shad. A fluke is still a good bet. Senkos work anywhere, as much as I hate fishing them. Willow leaf spinnerbaits can get bit, and have a popper or spook handy. If you get a wild hair and it’s tough try a jerkbait. Shad feeding fish look up, you’ll want to focus on the top third of the water column.
