Shoreline/Shallow water fishing

[Bottomfeeder]

I just got back into fishing about 6 months ago and also have limited time, the key for me has been trying different spots. I've cast onto pretty much every trickle of water and puddle in my neck of the woods. Sometimes I waste my fishing time trying to get to a stream that turns out to be unfishable, sometimes I find a nice.little pond full of panfish, catfish, and who knows what. There are a bunch of little spots that I think get overlooked on these forums.
Im not familiar with your area, but Id say spread out and try some other spots.

Fishing weed choked north side of greenwood lake I tend to use a lot of top water stick baits and poppers.6' gold rapala was always a go to along with Berkeley frenzy popper. Senkos are great for me early season before weed growth takes over. If I find clear water I use small tube baits of varying color.almost everything will suck in a small tube bate.
Good luck

Are there gamefish in there? Just because it looks 'fishy' doesn't mean there are fish in there. Look around the shallows for baby pick or bass. It could just be a sunfish/catfish pond. I have fished dozens of small ponds over the years that looked perfect but nothing but stunted sunnies.
