It won't take long before they become lure shy. It will happen sooner than one might think. In my case if I had a young guest at the pond and I wanted her or him to catch the largest I would just stop by the bait shop, pick up large sized or what they called trotline minnows. And then bait them up for fishing. It always worked. Big lmb or big hsb made no difference to the young fisherman. You might also use small bg for bait but for me i wanted something different the big fish had not seen and that really worked. Now if the guest were younger I would rig up a beaded fly and a bobber and bam the larger sized bg would take those baits really fast so lots of excitement and some big BG.
