Setter Guy, I don't know the layout of your pond or if it has trees around it or not, but from a bass fishing point of view, in the spring, the first areas of any body of water to warm are the northwest shorelines. This warmer water brings in the first spawning bass of the year because the sun rising from the southeast hits it first and has a longer period to warm. You might want to place some spawning beds in the northeast part of your pond to see if that helps with any recruitment. Just a thought.
