Like a few of the other ponds I've written about, unless you own land on the shore, you can only fish it if you drop a boat in. There is a boat ramp with plenty of parking located down a very bumpy Gunning Point Rd, which can be found off of Bourne Rd.
For the most part, I fished three distinct aspects of this pond with some success. There are plenty of docks running into the water on Big Sandy which are always a good place to start when you can't find any structure in the water. They are especially abundant on the eastern shore. I worked both a rubber worm and a spinner around them with some success.
After that, we fished some of the shores that had tree branches hanging out over the water, providing some shade for the fish. These can be found on either side of the point that is extending out from the southern shore. Again I worked a worm and a spinner bait over there, catching both largemouth and smallmouth bass.
The last spot we fished, which was very difficult to find even with our depth finder, is a severe drop off located just a little northeast of that point coming out from the south. I will mark it on the map for you. It drops from about 15 ft to around 30 ft in some places and finding a drop is always a good spot to fish as they will congregate on that downward slope. Obviously in a spot like this you need to work hard to get your bait down to them so think about putting wait on your plastic baits or using a deep diving crank bait.
One thing to consider is that I haven't trolled the entire pond searching for drop offs so the one I described may not be the only one. Good luck!
Successful Bait: Worms- Light green. Crank bait- Deep, white 15 ft diver. Spinnerbait- yellow/white skirt.
