Live minnows ans small spinnerbaits wouldnt be my first and second choice (would be second and thrid) Why hasnt anybody suggest topwater?!?!?! A buzzbait ( black and/or blue are the best colors for pond bass fishin) has been far productive for pond bass fishing (by far) than anything else i have ever used. Buzzbaits are great because most ponds are shallow with little structure so you can pretty much pinpoint where the bass are hanging (around cover (lily pads, stumps, logs, fallen trees...) and in the deepest spots where it is cooler. good luck ma friend! edit: the last guy musta been typing his answer at the same time i was. His answer is also good but instead of a popper go with a buzzbait :)<br><b>References : </b><br> Addicted has the only good answer on here so far!

Larger Bass stake out an area that hides them & offers them the ability to slide out of their pocket in an instant to capture food that comes by with the least amount of effort. In hot weather, they do not like to be disturbed unless easy food is at hand or they are irritated. Don't be impatient. Cast your Popper just past an area where you think they might be. Let it come to a COMPLETE REST. Then give it the slightest twitch to create ripples. If they see the Popper as food, an immediate strike may result. If not work the entire area from different angles, using a louder more obvious pop. Each time letting the ripples die down before popping again. An irritated bass will go for the popper to get rid of the disturbance which might be disturbing their easy meals that float by. After trying the tried & true methods during the doldrums of hot weather, I have never failed to produce legal results worthy of keeping for food or producing lunkers of up to 12 lbs. During Hot Weather, the layered effects of temperature inversion layers cause a loss of oxygen in deeper areas of "PONDS" & force better bass to seek suitable areas in shallower waters in order to survive. If you are just looking for a good "CLEAN WHITE MEAT MEAL", THERE IS NEVER A PROBLEM IN TAKING YOUR LIMIT OF EITHER "ROCK BASS" OR GOOD BLACKS & SMALL MOUTH ON ANY SHADED ROCK LINED DAM. Patience is the key & common fishing sense. You will be rewarded once you get the hang of topwater. An added benefit is less likelyhood of the fish getting you hung up in trees, grass, & rocks.<br><b>References : </b><br>50 years of fishing & listening to those who know more than I do.
