I fished this pond last year with my Kayak in Jul. It was extremely weedy and hard to paddle through at times. Although there are some holes in the weeds you can fish through. I caught to good size bass (around 16in) using a Kevin Van Dam Strike King 'Burner' Spinnerbait (two willow blades and a trailer hook). I burned them at the surface to keep them on top of the weeds. One bass I caught I didn't realize I had him on the line initially - I thought I was stuck in the weeds again and when I pulled the 'weed clump' out of the water, low and behold there was a nice bass covered in the tangled mass of weeds.

So bottom, not bad fishing, but you'll be fighting the weeds. I am heading back again next week (I live in northern VA now) and was thinking of checking it out again and may try using frogs or flipping creature baits in the weed holes.

If you head there let me know how you did.

Try a Horny Toad Grn or Brn pumpkin. Great on top of weeds .
