Dave,
I'll probably try some shrimp in the springtime. If something doesn't start to work this year, I may have to resort to "duPont spinners" -- those red sticks that get lit with a match! We've tried nearly every other technique and bait. Last year it gave us good reason to have many Saturday night fishing parties -- where the guests brought their best baits and techniques.
Right now the pond is covered with about 7 to 10 inches of ice, so not much happening.
