Well, catfish 1, Ed 0.
I tried everything I could think of. Dough balls,
catfish bait (guaranteed to catch fish or your money back), live and dead minnows, live and dead bluegill (4"), artificial worms and spinners. The last two types were given to me by a friend at work "Walk around the pond with this one, if you don't catch anything, try these two. If you still don't catch anything, there are no bass in that pond." Well, there are no bass in that pond.
All I caught, were about 20 bluegill, mostly between 4-6", one 8" bluegill (biggest I have ever seen) and one pitifully skinny fish. It was silver, with red fins on the bottom, maybe 6" long. I never knew what people meant by skinny fish, but this was it. It was healty in every other respect.
I have to say that a cold front came through on Friday, and other people who went fishing came up empty as well. If I ever catch this fish, I will post a picture.
