Hit the back yard pond this evening for about 50 minutes and pulled in 17. Most were crappie, but a few decent gills showed up too. The hot weather did seem to slow them down.

A lot worse way to spend the afternoon than catching fish.
Pond is looking pretty nice. That's a good number of fish for a hour.
Yes, real nice looking water, FFW. Action like that is just what you need to finish off a day!

IF that's your backyard, congratulations! Had one like that for myself in weekend place for a few years and it is glorious to instead of wasting your life watching boob tube to just grab your rod and step out of your house and wet a line. Doesn't matter what size they are!
Thats a good afternoon distraction. I’ve tried to get a couple of hours in the afternoon for about a week or more but our daily rains have begun and they’re relentless. Glad you got a few and a smile for a while.
I consider myself lucky to live in such a location. The pond serves up bluegill, shell cracker, crappie and bass. Can't ask for much more than that!
Just realized that I posted this in the Ultralight section. Should have been in the main Panfish section. So, I'll cover my set up: Diawa Presso (custom 6'4") rod, Piscifun Carbon X 1000 reel with shallow spool, and 6# Diawa J-Braid X4 with a SOS 4# leader. The terminal tackle was a 1/32 oz Eurotackle tungsten jig head with a Charlie Brewer 1.5" Crappie/Panfish Grub (looks like a mini-swimbait to me). Just swam it slowly at different depths to get the bites.
