1. TX rig purple firetail, pumpkin, red shad, tq sunrise. Never bigger than 7"
2. H/H chart/white
3. Never ever leave your Scum frog at home when you're fishing dusk/dawn.
Bonus: Weightless fluke, recently picked up this thing up after 25 years of the basic 3.

Yep that Purple Fire tail from Manns lures is hard to beat when pond Hopping. Small weight Texas rig or a 6 inch Carolina rig works well in ponds too.

fished my small pond Sat -it is full of fish - tied on a matrix mini blue and silver with flecks - first cast landed 2 feet into pond because of no maintenance on reel - bass as soon as it hit water - one after another same with perch - bad day though no catfish bites which was what we were trying for

Name of the game is really just to let the pond's water clarity and vegetation tell you what to do. Pond bass are hungry and will hit anything they can get in their mouth if they can see it and it stays in front of their face long enough.
If clear water has let thick moss grow on bottom, throw topwater and shallow running baits. Stained/muddy water will have more grass/lilies around the edges but relatively clean bottom, throw baits that will get down there like a worm. I've found topwater works in either case (still best in clear), and it's fun as hell. No need to overthink it on a specific bait, anything that lets you go a whole retrieve without getting hung or covered in moss/grass will catch fish.

I think it depends on the pond itself. A buddy and I went to a friends pond the week before last. We fished a portion of the bank and didn't move 15-20 yards to the left or right and in 2 hours we caught 30+ fish on a rattle trap and a zoom 'ol monster worm. It was raining and slightly windy and I would say maybe 6-7 of the fish were 2lbs or under. The rest were 4-5lbs and the biggest weighed in at right under 8lbs.
