Bait/lure recommendation for pond

[Tbone3636]

Stocked my 4 ponds last year, what would y’all suggest to use for bait? I’ve attached a picture of what was put in the ponds. We feed the fish occasionally for fun with left over cat food and mainly see catfish come to surface. My girls and I have fished a few times but only bites. Also to note our biggest pond with the bass is very silty most of the time. Thanks for the info

Black/Chart smaller spinnerbait, or beetle spin
Green 6" lizard weightless or Tx rigged
Road Runner
Small grass frog

We do good on pond bass with h&h spinnerbaits and beetlespins . Can't beat minnows for live bait.

On the ponds I fish it's a 5" senko worm, watermelon w/ red flake, wacky rigged.

My 4yo daughter uses whole kernel corn to catch just about anything in small ponds around our house.

Road runners and beetle spins always work well for bass but we've caught perch and catfish on them also.

This is hands down the best lure I have found for catching bass in stock tanks. I typically use either the solid yellow or solid white versions. I have also caught several catfish on them as well. And, an added bonus is that they’re super cheap.

This!

Hard to beat a road runner or beetle spin for those little bass. Put it on a small ultra light reel and have some fun!

the smallest size hula popper is great, bass and perch will take them,,, as already stated a couple of times the beetle spin is an all time best pond bait,,, if your after just perch a tiny hook and bread is very good, also very easy for children to learn to bait their on hooks,,, just roll the bread into a tiny ball about half the size of a pencil eraser and go have some fun
