Question Farm Pond Gone Dead???

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and somewhat new to bass fishin'. I've been Fishing this farm pond NW of Cordell, OK for about 4 weeks now. For the first 3 weeks I could pull bass and crappie out one after the other from 5am-9am then again from 7:30pm-9:30pm using a top-water popper and a 2" neon yellow grub along with some other worms and lizards of various colors.

Lately though, the fish wont bite anything. I've caught a few 1/2 - 2 1/2 lb. LM but only about 2 or so each day. The pond has a lot of weeds and brush in the middle where it gets shallow and another line of weeds near the shore. Along the East side there is a cliff that drops 15' to the water and then keeps going another 20' or so to the bottom of the pond, this is where the small crappie and larger bass seem to hang out. There are a lot of trees along the dam and the east and west side of the pond with a split, double creek inlet (can only shore fish from 1 inlet).
The Pond has also recently "turned over" with the moss floating to the top and is now starting to sink making the water very clear, about 3' of visibility.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated and I hope you guys here at bassfishin.com can offer a newbie some assistance.

Thanks,
-Eric

P.S. The water level has also dropped significantly since the end of the recent flooding rains in western OK.
