Any pond fisherman out there?
I know that most people on here fish in lakes but I'm assuming a large number also fish in ponds frequently!
Here are my top 5 pond lures
#1- KVD Squarebill's (Craw color or black/chart)
#2- Wacky Worm (Senko's) (Green Pumpkinseed with Flecks)
#3- Blue and black jig with Craw-like trailer
#4- Spinnerbaits- all colors (Strike King)
#5- Craws/Creatures/Worms Texas-Rigged (All colors/Different Brands)

Is there a reason this list would be different from what you would use on a lake?
I haven`t really fished any ponds but most of these lists sound like what are my preferred lures on a lake.
I use a Booyah Pond Assassin spinnerbait on good size lakes and catch decent fish, I imagine they would be king in a pond! (Or so Booyah would have us believe! )

Other than the texas rigs that can be used anywhere , I did not list any offshore structure baits . I am targeting mainly weeds and shoreline cover in ponds .

I guess that makes sense... and since I don't do much offshore structure fishing, it would explain why my list matches up. Only offshore fishing I tend to do is weed lines and I'll use a lot of the same lures for that.
