During the heat of the summer Ive caught tons of bass in small ponds with fountains by throwing baits right at the base of it. During the summer the oxygen levels can get low and the fountains help add oxygen to the water and the fish will congregate around it.
I took another client, I guess I can say that since I got paid, out today. He had a blast, he went four for five on kings and I went five for five in just a few hours of fishing. They were all decent fish too, if we had kept them, our four biggest would have probably weight seventy pounds or so together.
