Fly rod. If you don’t have one you can use a top water bass plug like a Creek Chub or Devils Horse and tie a 4ft leader to the back ending with a black sponge spider. I’ve caught bass on the plug and bream on the spider at the same time.
Depends on what you fish.
Bass-
1. Floating Rapala F9 size, silver color. Put a feather tail on it.
2. Jigs, soft plastics, GULP, and topwater. I like the Heddon torpedo and the Rapala skitter pop. Spinnerbaits and buzzbaits.
Sunfish-
1. Live bait under a bobber rig. Try a waxworm or crickets.
2. Little jigs, micro crankbaits like the bass pro shops uncle bucks micro lures, and tiny spinners with soft plastics on them.
It also depends on the depth and the water temperature. If you want to keep it simple, try the floating Rapala or live bait.
Good luck, I hope you catch something big. I hope this helps.
I lot of people think a fly rod is for trout, but I think its highest and greatest use is for a large bass. I caught an 8lb and a 5lb last night on a large white popping bug. Rubber legs, black and white feathers. I lost another that looked to be in the 7 to 8 lb range. It was the finest fishing day of my life and it all happened in less than two hours before dark.
You don’t need a fancy set up. Decent rods are available under $100. Pay more and it just for show. Get you some popping bugs, and sinking spiders, woolly buggers, black and red ants and bream flys. You will have a blast.
A Worm and Bobber set-up works good also take a Live Worm and rig it Carolina style and bounce it off the bottom this will get you some striking action also a Fly Rod set-up would also be a good one for the small pond.
i use a crawler harness with a bobber.
A 5 inch senko texas rigged weightless on a 2/0 gamakatsu hook. Watermelon Red flake is the color to go to.
man i like to catch bass so if your going to fish ing a small pond i dont amagine the fish are really big. so what i would use is a 5′ berkley power bait worm gust cast it out twitch it and realt it in and make another cast. i hope this works good luck and good fishing
