Fished the *first* back pond for the first (and only) time on 6/16...it was in the afternoon, and my buddy and I both double limited for 4 hours of fishing....I flipped senkos exclusively, with a semi dead stick technique...the bite definetly got better as evening approached....the fish were really tight to the bank...look for shade and cover, combined with a steep bank....thats what was working for me on that particular day.
