pond fishing

I agree with rooster tail. Try chartrues and silver, yellow, white. 1/8 oz. to 1/4oz. Try smaller 1st.

 I would use a small black rooster tail. Use it as a serch bait and when you find them switch to a soft plactic. Always works for me on the ponds I  fish.... ;D

I have also had good luck with small red/green spinners

First off I'm new to this forum.   As you can see this is my first post.     I have been fishing LM for over 30 years.   About 12 years ago we put our first pond in.   It's 5 acres  the deepest point is 14'.    I have studied pond mangement for the last 11 years and with the help of the state of MO I can honestly say that you can grow huge bass from small bodies of water.      The LM state record in MO is almost 13 pounds.    The largest bass I have taken from our pond is 11.5 pounds.    If the bass in your small pond are only growning to 10-15" you have way to many.   As a rule of thumb one should remove 20-25 smaller bass for every acre of land mass in water per year.

I agree with GotOne42 about fishing with tubes. I have a lot of luck with gizit tubes in dark colors fished around weedbeds.

sounds like you got yourself a "bill dance" pond  ;D. That's awesome, I wish I could do that some day!
