re: Anyone on the board fish ponds?

I do real well fishing ponds for bass, I have a boat but I never turn down a good pond. My strategy is to throw stuff I don’t think they’ve seen before. With all the baits on the market, I don’t think it’s hard. I usually don’t throw much plastic on the bottom. Typically popR’s or frogs in the morning and evening, and then chatterbaits and square bills when the sun is up. I’ve found that I’ll catch 1-2 fish on a bait and then they stop hitting it and I’ll switch to something else. I like to run baits a foot tops off the bank. I’ll cast as far as I can down the bank, work it back, take 3-4 steps and then cast as far down the bank as I can again. I do it all the way around and then repeat.

I agree with this. I’ve gotten some good results on old school topwater baits that aren’t popular now like a Tiny Torpedo. A lot of pond fish have never seen a dropshot or Carolina rig.
I also like to fish at times when other people don’t. Usually very early or late - even in the dark.
Finally, I tend to downsize the baits. The smallest version of the Strike King squarebill (1.0?), a small buzzbait, Zara Puppy, etc.
