Need help learning how to fishing this
I am not a very experienced crappie fisherman but I have been fishing this pond that I think has tons of potential if fished correctly. It is man made pond that is a dug out ditch. There is 0 Structure in it except for a fallen tree at the begnin of the 6 ft run area. It is 3 acres large and about 8 yeas old.My wife and are the only ones that have access to it so there is no fishing pressure. Ive been fishing it for about 2 months and this is what I have noted. There are channel cats Never caught one smaller than 5 lbs. Bluegill none smaller than my hand and lots of crappie. I never leave with less than 15 in 4 hours of fishing for them . They are ranging from 6 inches to 2 lbs. I caught 3 LB crappie yesterday. My wife fishes for bass and between her and I we have never caught any bass larger than 12 inches but a lot of them. The pond is surrounded by Cattails and we fish it on a flatbottom johnboat. Yesterday I noticed that The weeds have gotten really bad and there is a bed of weeds 5 ft off the bottom that you always bring up or get on your line if you go too deep. I know this pond is a gem and I want to be able to fish it with more success. What advice could you give me to teach me how to fish it for crappie? Here is a picture of the pond along with the approximate depths.
