Bait for pond with ripples but too deep to see

[Cubanguy]

Today was exploring a new pond and even from the bank is pretty deep, you can see tons of ripples all around the bank but no bites on anything, try worms, weightless, weght , spinners, crank...nada. Since i cant see what type of fish is around , what would be good to try on these ponds?

I take it you cant see the bait fish either. Maybe throw some small pieces of bread at the edge of the bank and take note to the bait fish that come to eat it. Then at least you will know what the main forages are in the pond. 

 

Then try to match it.

If you can find even a tiny clear spot in the mess the bait fish generally can get through to it. A pair of polorized glasses will certainly help in this situation as well.

Not sure what “ripples” have to do with anything. Do you mean that you can see surface activity from fish?  How can you tell whether it is deep or not? If you’ve already tried a variety of bass baits without a bite, try fishing panfish sized baits to see if there is anything in the pond.

I can see there is basically no gradual deepness, it goes from ground on the bank to dark deep, what i mean ripples is yeah like there is fish there, sorry english is not my first language, but like is not shallow at all so cant see the fish just activity

I can tell you right now they make a world of difference.  In fact they saved me from washing my hands with a jellyfish in the delta. They increase your view in astonishing ways.
