Ok, so Theres a residential pond I goto near my house. its relativity small. but I have a hard to catching fish constantly. are there any baits particular that work well in small ponds? I plan to take my raft out today.

4" senko all day

4" robo worm and a split shot about 12 inches above will catch them all day!  My goto from the bank!

I'm fishing from a raft today

In addition to the senkos, weightless rattlesnakes, trick worms or flukes all spring and summer and Horny toads, poppers or buzz baits ontop. Cooler weather a Texas rig ribbon tail, rattlesnake or brush hog works. Dunno your local temps......Lizards weightless or on a lightly weighted swimbait hook swiming it around.

Drop shot with like 6 inches from hook to weight with a 4 inch finesse style worm and just shake it. You will kill them with out a doubt.
