Wanna hit up some ponds and I don't have any vexars or anything I just wanna know some good tips for what I can use I have everything but a vexar

If you don't know the location of weed edges, drop offs, brush piles, etc. spread tip ups out in a pattern and place the bait at a few different depths (though near the bottom is usually a good starting point, i think).  Lively minnows will attract and catch fish but grubs are good too.  Until you find active fish, live bait is usually best.  Once you find concentrations of fish, you can switch to fishing individual holes.
