A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Mountain Pond sits 0.5 miles off and takes the overflow. The position on Fogg Pond is worth confirming on the day.
