What To Use In New Pond

[basssnatcher99]

There is this new pond that I will be going to it is about 70 yards by 35 yards it has no structure besides a large drop-off were the pond goes from about 4 feet to about 12 feet. It is a stocked pond, it has both largemouth and smallmouth. I need to know what to use and where to use it.

If you know there's definitely fish in there, have fun, because you'll probably be able to catch them on a variety of baits. I would probably throw either a senko or fluke and just cover the whole pond. There's really no need to throw search baits like cranks and spinnerbaits on a pond that small (unless that's what you like to fish). 

 

Ponds with a good bass population are a great way to learn new techniques. Once you catch a few, start experimenting with baits or techniques you don't typically use. You can build confidence and will now have new tools for your arsenal. That's how I learned how to jig fish and gained confidence with jerkbaits.

I have been having a lot of fun this summer catching them on a 1/4 oz  white swim jig with a grub trailer. The pond I fish has a lot of grass so I swim the jig right over the grass and have been catching more on that than anything else in the past.

A fresh pond stocked with bass? You could probably throw a plain hook and catch something, Like junkyard said: use it to experiment. Get to know how all your baits feel and what the different strikes feel like.
