Hey guys,

Looks like I have gained access to a small pond that is supposed to contain bass. I took one look recently and it seems to be high with reeds and trees around the perimeter but there are three small open areas where one can stand and cast.

Never having actually targeted bass from the bank before I was wondering what people think the best approach would be. I have no idea of depth of the water.

I like to use my small crankbaits such as a bitsy minnow, and will be trying that out while I'm comfortable with it. Any other patterns I should consider trying?
