Farm Pond Gills
RyanW:
An underwater camera would answer lots of questions.

I tried my aqua vu, it is a pretty cloudy pond. Saw some largemouth in there but couldn't see the gills. Hope they all didn't die out. I know there were a ton in there late summer early fall. Not enough largemouth to clean em out either.
Seamonkey84:
They may have switched to a night bite then. If you’ve checked all the depths and known spots Throughout the day, then try an hour before or till after dark and see how you do.
Ice_Fly_Guy:
Try up in the mid-flats in the 4-7 foot area. If it is a classic, upside down V-shaped farm pond, I have the most luck finding concentrations of fish in the mid-depth areas not anywhere near the deep side where the dam is.
Although they never really hit it, I often have a live minnow down just to garner some attention from the bluegills.
Another option is to try something really aggressive with rattles to get attention, like a Rapala Rippin Rap. Use that to attract curious fish, then seal the deal with a normal bluegill offering.
fishinator:
Otters? Wouldn't take them long to clean out a pond that size.
