My #1 pond producer this past year during the fall (when my water temps in NY where the same as yours now) was a GYCB Fat Ika rigged backwards on a 4/0 Wide Gap Owner hook. Green Pumpkin with black flakes. Hopping it in spurts off the bottom and letting it flutter on slack line.

Make sure your throwing parallel to the shore and don't give the shallow fish a chance to see you. Work your way around the pond in this manner. Are you shorebound?

 I fish ponds and small lakes mostly and this time of year probably jigs, soft plastics and suspending jerk baits. All of them slow ...
