That sounds good! I live in SW Fort Wayne... I actually tried a
Jitterbug red/white tonight for a couple of hours and I caught a HUGE
bluegill (it didn't even fight - I thought I had weeds) but no bass...
It's certainly not dead.. also caught a big cat a few weeks back...

Is the pond aerated?? Do you see any life in there? Bluegill's, minnows,
crawdads or anything? Or does it look "dead"? I would say your best luck
would be at night right now or early morning right before the sun comes up.
Try a jitterbug or a popper and if that doesn't work, try an inline spinner
worked slowly and see how that does... Dark Texas rigged worm with a worm
rattle in it is a pretty good bet too.
I, too, live in NE Indiana and fish up north frequently, the James chain
and Hamilton mostly and sometime get to Coldwater. If you'd like, I would
make a trip there and give it whirl, maybe swap a few fishing strategies
with ya?. I personally am from around the Fort Wayne area myself.
I usually can come up with something if there's fish in it. Not to toot my
own horn, but it's pretty rare that I get skunked.

Let us know how you do!

Please help. I have a 12 foot deep, 6 acre pond in NE Indiana I
stocked 4 years ago with large mouth. I can't catch even one!!! I'm
an "ok" fisherman but does anyone know of a surefire way to even see
if there still in there? Live bait? I'm totally lost... Thanks in
advance

Kevin

P.S. There isn't much cover and it's in full sun
