Thanks guys. I've heard, and seen a lot of post about flukes being the best beginner soft bait. I know this is a biased statement but was it true for any of you guys?

I am technically a newbie, I have been fishing with my dad for years, but whenever we go we hardly catch fish. I am starting to go to small ponds and lakes around my area but haven't seen much success, not to surprising considering who taught me how to fish. I know the basics like what's what and all, but I was wondering what are the best starting hard baits? easiest soft plastics to use? and what is the best type of jig? Also if any one has tips for fishing ponds they would be appreciated as well.
