Re: Gardners pond (crappie help)
might be tough from shore now. idk the place you speak of but with the cold weather try a small jig under a bobber in the same staging/spawning flats they used in the early spring and don't be afraid to go minuscule on the jig if they aren't biting.
Where they SHOULD be right now is in the first good structure they find in or near deeper water outside of those weed flats they used, but with this weather who knows. like i said might be tough from shore but a slow sinking jig (1/16 or 1/8 depending on the depth with a curly tail grub is hard to beat! you can also try a little 'trout' style jerk bait.
good luck, good crappie fishing is a year round thing!
