Lots of bank spots around the pond. Typically carry two rods, one med/hvy power spinning; one med/hvy casting. Use spinning for soft stickbaits rigged either Texas or wacky; casting used for spinnerbait or chatterbait. Work baits around visible cover (rocks, rip rap, laydowns, culverts) and dark patches in water (typically submerged grass or pad stems) trying to keep bait parallel to edges when possible. Prior knowledge of previous year's weedbeds helps (take note for future as they form this year).
