Fall fishing a flooded pond.

[TriStateBassin106]

Hey all. 

 

Recently here in New Jersey the fall bite has been on and off. A couple of days ago this pond I frequently fish was producing for me a little bit while using swim jigs and Neds. But we recently got heavy rain again & the pond has risen it's water back to spring time levels, does anyone know how to fish it in this situation? Especially with the fall being tough already, I went out this morning and the bite was completely off, not even a nibble. 

 

It's gonna be awhile before the water level lowers back so please help a fellow angler out. Looking foward to the responses.

In ponds I find them up shallow when it's flooded and murky. Use a high action plastic and drag it on the bottom rather quickly. 

 

Specifically a "jika" rigged keitech crazy flapper or rage bug. 

 

Also a good old shad rap sashayed back and forth is a hog Hunter . Good luck.
