If it's off limits then this is GOOD!! They should be willing to take almost anything! If you go in the morning throw topwater to start. If the topwater bite turns off or isn't there, try jigs and t-rigged worms. I would start with big profile baits and then downscale if needed. If you have to downsize, try dropshotting or senkos in browns and greens. The combinations are endless. I love fishing small, semi-unfished ponds! Don't be afraid to throw big baits to start out! 9" Slammer
