Wow! What a pretty and nice crappie...
Maybe your pond is unique and will support a great crappie fishery? Who knows... Lots of guys would be happy to consistently catch crappie like that!
If you're trying to hammer crappie, 1.5"-2" shiner on a size 4-6 hook about 3 feet under a float. A small split shot in between the float and shiner and that rig is deadly this time of year!
If you are going artificial, my old time favorite were the Rebel Ghost minnows that would suspend. I don't think they make them anymore sadly.
I also like any other tiny crankbait you can get to stay about 2 to 3 feet deep. You can also use little hair jigs under a float as well with a wax worm on it...
