I see ponds with no shade. I wonder about that. Most ponds around here get shade from the trees during different times of the day. But some ponds are out in open fields and get no shade at all, unless they have a fallen tree or whatever.
A long time ago I use to fish a gravel pit that had several ponds. Being a gravel pit, there were very few trees. The very few areas that did have shade, just a couple shorelines during certain times of the day, and fallen trees, had bass stacked up in the shade. Since then I definitely know that when its sunny, LMB seek shade during most times of the year.
Anyhow, I guess I'm asking what do y'all think about this, and what would you do to a pond with no shade? And don't most other pond fish want shade?
