How would you fish here
How would you go about fishing this pond with 42 degree water, the side by the dock is the deepest and there is about 6 feet of water right off the dock. Here is a video tour of the pond: http://vimeo.com/35877668 and here is another short video: http://vimeo.com/35877527

It's a very small shallow pond. Therefore it will warm fairly quickly in the sun. I would go out late morning and fish it with either a floating or suspending jerkbait and with a small 1/4oz jig n pig combo. Work the lures slow at first and see how that goes. Try speeding it up a bit if you don't get any action. If that didn't work, I'd then try a 5 inch soft stick bait like a Senko fished weightless, and I'd also toss around a small 1/4 oz. spinnerbait. Good luck.

Not trying to be a wise *** but are you sure there are bass in there? Looks pretty small to support any kind of bass population. When the water warms up; you might try laying face down on an inner tube with a face mask on. With a depth of only 6 ft. you should be able to see any holding structure and plan your next attack accordingly.

Maybe try a Drop shot rig with a finesse worm, or a split shot rig as well. The other thing I would try is to drag a finesse worm on a 1/8th to1/16th oz. spider jighead.

Yes, that's why some suggested you use a seine net to find out what's in it. Five or six cast standing on the dock looks like you could cover the whole thing, from one end to the other, storm water runoff, filled with leaves, doubt it has a solid bottom, if it isn't dying it soon will be.
