[bubba bass bigfoot]

here in ohio we just had a hard rain for 15mins, and more on its way. temp has dropped. i am going to fish a small pond for LM bass. i have fished this pond alot. it did have alot of cover on the bank providing shade, now all that cover has been chopped out allowing the grass in the water to grow thick and about 10 plus feet out. made the fishing tough last time. i will be fishing from bank. the pond slowly goes deep (not sure how deep) grass is now all the cover provided. do you think the bass will be on the move up the banks looking for food b/c of the water going up. i was thinking about throwing plastic worms in the grass, senko's. do you have any other quick thoughts to help me with? just so i can have everything covered lol.
pond has alot of Gills also, along with alot of frogs.

Thanks.
