Depends upon the side of the pond. If it is fairly small I would almost stick to traditional bass baits. As long as I wasn't catching dinks I would think just based on the odds you should cross paths with the larger fish.

 

I would fish more low light conditions in the morning and evening hoping some of the bigger fish had let their guard down. 

 

Target them with slightly larger topwaters big jig and trailer combinations and sort and hard body swimbaits.

What would you consider a big topwater? Or is 3/8 oz considered a big enough jig?

For bigger topwater I would think something that is in that 4.5 to 6 inch class. So your bigger whopper ploppers, Super Spooks, full size Evergreen Showerblow, etc.

 

As far as jigs go weight doesn't necessarily dictate size/profile. I like bulky jigs that are either all living rubber or a combination of living rubber and silicone. When the tow are combined you get bulk plus movement. Add a big trailer like the Rage Lobster or Double Wide RI beaver and you have a really big meal offering for a bass.

Tie on a big swimbait and find out!
