When pond fishing, the best types of bait to use are usually live bait or artificial lures that mimic the natural prey of the fish in the pond. For freshwater ponds, common live baits include worms, minnows, and insects like crickets or grasshoppers. Artificial lures such as spinners, crankbaits, and soft plastic baits can also be effective. It's essential to match the bait to the type of fish you are targeting; for example, using smaller baits for panfish like bluegill and larger baits for bass. Experimenting with different baits and techniques is key to finding what works best in a particular pond.
