I grew up fishin' that pond and the creek behind it.....it gets very warm in the summer and very cold in the winter. What you must do is chum with something that stirs the water, but doesn't feed 'em much. Even then, the water is so warm.
I used to catch catfish and bass there though on a regular basis, but the weather extremes can always put a damper on the fishin' there. If we get a good rain, there'll be plenty of water flow in to the pond from storm drainage and they'll livin' up.
