Too bad no crankbaits. I love shallow running cranks. Xraps - KVD 1.0s and 1.5s squarebills. And ultralight cranks. Rapala UL Minnows and Strike King bitsy minnows. 

They snag a lot for me and i've never had much luck fishing them

1/4 oz swim jig, 3'3 inch kitsch swing impact fat. great pond combo

I use shallow running crankbaits from shore in the shallower areas. It depends how fast you reel too. If you reel very very slowly the shallow running floating crankbait becomes a wake bait. I use the bomber FAT A size 05, bomber model A in size 05 mainly.

 

one spot I fish gets weeded over. I put on a larger lure with three treble hooks and clear a 3' wide path from a far cast to the shore. I spend one trip clearing it. Then I can fish it next time. I can run deeper cranks along this open weed line.

 

my other spot has a 9' deep channel with weedlines on both sides. The channel is 12' wide. Again I cast parallel to the weedline. The bass come out of the weeds to hit my baits.

 

i like fishing from shore. I can gun and run to another nearby spot too if it's slow at my first spot.

 

i start fishing from shore in the dark, when the sun is up I cast into the shaded darker areas. I keep my casts parallel to the shoreline and work my way out Skip fan casting. One area has a 90 degree corner. I can cast parallel to both shore lines from the corner.

 

spinflys and joesflys work great in these shaded areas.
