First post here, been lurking for a month or so and just started angling for about a month now.\
I'm sorry if this is the wrong spot for this, if it is can a mod kindly move it instead of deleting it that would be appreciated.
Anyways I have been fishing this slow moving bayou with a pond that is next to it. I have never caught anything in the pond but in the bayou I have caught a few (3) bass. In the bayou I see some big bass hop off the water and also see these other massive fish (like 5-7lb) with slightly orange tails, not sure what they are. There's catfish in it too
The water is murky brown, Cant even see half a foot deep. Its a slow moving current. And its only about 6ft deep and thats near the middle.
I have caught the bass with 5 1/2in brown with red specks texas rigged swim senkos (3/16 bullet weights) on 10lb test braided line. They werent as big as the fish I have seen in it but enough to keep me coming back. The past 3 days though I havent caught a thing. I tried using some other lures like a dark chatter bait with a black grub tail trailer, spinnerbaits, and rubber crawdads and normal senko's.. Sill nothing. I seem to only have gotten fish that first day I went up there....
Here is a picture of the part of the bayou I am fishing

I normally spend most of the time far left where there is a little stream. There is an eddy next to it and I generally cast around there since I have only caught fish there. But would it be worth while to try some other spots? I see fish flopping around further down and cast around there sometimes but still nothing. Should I try using something else? Any other tips you all could share would sure be nice as this is the only spot within driving distance that I can fish and I sure enjoyed catching them on that first day.
Also here is a pond thats within walking distance to the bayou. I fished it one day but didnt catch a thing. I dont even know if fish are in it. What spots should I try to fish from? Any tips?
