Default Pond that is Way Over Fished

There is a pond I go to and it is way overfished. I tried everything there 10 or 11 times now and not even a hit. I know there are bass in there because once in a whil you a pretty good sized one swim really close to shore. I have even tried minnows, shiners, and worms, but no luck. I know this is off of the topic but... there are even bluegill in there, and I tried to catch some just for fun, and they wouldn't bite either. What should I use to try to catch these fish?

I'd go out and throw a rattling rogue stick-jerk bait

I bet no one throws that out there, its probably all live bait , rubber worm, or spinnerbait type thing ...

I know it is overfished because just a couple of days ago there were about 25 people fishing it for about 6 hours straight. I think I only saw about 2 nice ones pulled out.

Go deep as their will probably be bass out farther that are less pressured and I would use a small finese worm on spinning tackle and rig it on 4lb test line on a drophot rig with a light action rod and it this doesnt' work you are SH!# out of luck.

Sometimes if a lake is overfished, its just plain overfished. Find another pond if you can't get on the bass there soon.

Downsize lure size. Downsize line size. Notice what lures the other fisherman are fishing and use something different.
