In ponds, from the bank, try casting almost parallel to the bank about 7-10 feet out !! It will drive the ones in the hydrilla crazy !!

Nice fish. It is exciting when they crash a bait on the surface. For a bigger rush, try a floating topwater , like a Heddon torpedo.

nothing like the feeling of the blow up on a topwater.

Here's a good tip too. have another rod rigged up with a weightless worm (like a Senko type bait).
If you get a big hit on the buzz, but the fish misses. Reel in and grab the other rod. Cast right to where the miss was and let it fall and sit.
I'll bet I get about 50%-70% of those fish to hit that worm.

Awesome advice, don't miss out on this one. You may also want to try a trailer hook for the short strikes.
