As far as I remember all the urban ponds you can use live bait. For a little one it is about timing for that explosive bite. You have to catch the Bluegills when they are on the beds/spawning. They come up from the deep to the shores edges for that and one can catch upwards to a 100 Bluegills in a afternoon on meal worms. Small hooks, small/light bobbers and a meal worm from Walmart. The few times I caught the Bluegills in that scenerio I went through 2 foam containers of meal worms in no time and both of my daughters caught more Bluegills than I ever care to have to unhook. lol I couldn't unhook and rebait their rods fast enough when the timing was right on the Bluegills.
A good old night crawler will catch one a Catfish typically but the action generally speaking is slooooow.
In the winter months (Only time they are planted) power bait generally rules for the Rainbows.
