Sounds like west monponsett pond if so the eastern pond is better.

I actually just watched an episode of bill dance outdoors this weekend called dead sticking and towards the end of the episode he shows how to free a backlash was very interesting. I cant find it on you tube but found this link its similar in method

Spin beetle that way if there are crappie or sunfish and perch you will know also 4inch curly tail grub may work. I usually fish new ponds with small bait to see if the water has any panfish first then increase lure size and color accordingly
