As someone mentioned; match the hatch. Or, more correctly, use the hatch. Catch your bait from your pond. That is what they are used to seeing and eating. In my pond, before redigging and stocking, I would always catch large BG and my CC better on a silver shiner hooked under the dorsel and free swimming than on anything else. Very light shot, just to keep it underwater. Use this, especially in smaller ponds.
