pond fishermen

[roadrunner]

for all the pond fishermen who don't have a boat or access to a large lake, this is for those who have a hour to a hour and a half to fish at a time. what do yall use. when I go I have realized that I do not have time to constantly change baits. I usally go to the pond see what kind of water clarity i have, the type of cover: weeds, wood, rocks, etc..., then the time of season, type of light and so on. so far this is what i tend to bring most of the time:

1. clear water/ bright strike king trick worm, strike king zero watermelon or green pumpkin, maybe a pearl fluke, topwater when overcast, frog in the grass, raodrunner when windy, sometimes drop shot
2. stained/ top poppers when overcast, frog in the grass, toads, strike king spinner baits when windy, power hawgs t-rigged, zeros in heavy cover t-rigged
3. murky water/ lipless cranks(red craw in the spring, chart. rest of the year), finness jig black/blue with a electric blue ultra vibe speed craw.

i want to knw what yall think. most of the time i go with a 7ft spinning rod rigged with 10lb braid and a 6,6ft baitcater with 14lb mono. let me know what you use and what seems to work in your area.
