RES like picking up food off the bottom rather than coming up for it, they are looking downward more often than up. They also like slow moving easy to catch groceries. "Low and slow" is the key, it doesn't matter if you are fishing 2 feet of water or 9 feet, keep your bait on or near the bottom of the pond. One other thing, they love worms, use night crawlers or red worms, smaller pieces work better than large ones.
