I usually fish this fair sized pond around where I live at night and I've had great success throwing rattling square-bill cranks, a black spinnerbait with a large number 5 Colorado balde, the Rattlin Romba bait (if you do not own one of these I highly recommend them for night, submerged grass, lily pads, and overhanging trees), floating frogs, and large black worms of various types. The baits are very productive in the dark water that I fish and I've had many explosive bites throwing around the lily pads and laydowns that scatter the place. One night in particular I remember catching two five pounders of my own and one of my friends pulled in his personal best of six pounds on a rattling square-bill. I recently purchased some floating snakes from the bog baits website and will throw these in the summer this season and will hopefully break my personal record of about eight and three quarter pounds because the large bog baits have a good reputation for catching lunkers.
