I think before any advice can be given, "your goal" needs to be determined. For example, lots of small bass is normal if you want big BG.
I agree that you need to fish this pond a lot more. If the water temps are cooling down ( 55?) then it will make it that much tougher to get a good survey by fishing. Also, try fishing for different things. Like next spring/summer try for catfish.
Read a lot here on different types(fish combinations) of ponds. Read a lot on how to take care of them, the water, plants, etc. This will keep you busy and not worrying about the pond till you can fish it more/better and when you finally decide what you need/want, you'll be better prepared.
