OH I wish I knew!
One good idea, if you visit this pond a lot, would be to throw in a specific bait, say worms, at the same time in the same place every day for a week sans hook, so when you throw in your line with said bait plus hook, they won't suspect a thing...

I have my own pond and am always experimenting and throwing different things in to see what they prefer. Believe it or not their tastes vary greatly from fish to fish but one thing I found they will ALL eat are grasshoppers. I can see well enough that I have many of them that I can identify by "face" lol. I know who is eating what and it's been a real interesting summer now that my water is so clear that I can spy on them! They are a lot smarter than I ever gave them credit for though and if I put a kid on them to catch them they can only catch them once. Then the fish will leave... I had one kid use a piece of grass and catch a big bass one day - looked close enough to a grasshopper when it hit the surface. Good luck

If it's raining or shortly after rain, fish are opportunistic, and know that nightcrawlers and other food will wash into ponds after a heavy rain. Use that to your advantage by using either imitation soft plastic worms near shore, or use crankbaits that imitate bluegills and other forage fish, because bass might think your crankbait is a bluegill looking for washed down food too, so bass will look for an opportunity like an easy nightcrawler that floats on in, or a bluegill that's thinking the same thing.

i would use a jig from 2/8 of an oz to a 1/2 oz in a natural color with a berkley power craw as a trailer ( just matching the color of the jig or closely resembling it) Nexti would use a medium size spinnerbait in chartreuse, Chart./ white, or salt and pepper. Good Luck

the rain washes the food off the top of the water so you will need somethin topwater. A jitter bug or buzzbait will work in the rain, whether it be during the morning , night, or afternoon.

good luck!

White spinnerbait or buzzbait. Also try a zoom horny toad or snagproof frog.
