I grew up fishing small farm ponds. Try spinnerbaits (experiment w blades and colors ) in my experience each pond has a different color/blade combo that works better, even if the conditions are exactly the same. Another lure to try is the Rapala shallow shad rap in their bluegill color. instead of reeling it in ..jerk and pause or jerk jerk jerk and pause seems to drive them crazy and they usually smash it. especially just before spawn or during. Another great , and I mean great lure is the banjo minnow (non weighted) experiment w color try matching the hatch as close as you can however in most situations it really doesnt matter. the dying action just produces large quantities of strikes.
