I fish 1/32 road runners mainly if not using live bait . I use various plastics like fle fly minnow, crappie / trout magnet , Sliders , ect . I catch a little of everything .One morning on trace lake in north MS .
Only a couple in that box weigh 1/8 oz. Most are in the neighborhood of 1/16 oz. The majority are sinking lures also so I can work deeper than 5 or 6 feet.

Nice catches !
When it comes to LM I'm at the mercy of our fish and game department for re-stocking as necessary. One I'm a shore-only angler (no boat) and two we have several local ponds supposedly teeming with them BUT I've also heard several other fellow anglers said there were years where we have "winter kill off" when it's just too cold for most to survive because ponds dept is no more than 11 feet at the middle for these low 30's we been getting southern Nevada, though I don't know if there's any truth to that. The very few LM bass I caught mostly accidental when they hit a floatNjig or flies dropshotting rig.
A few years ago I had a winter kill in my pond that killed almost all the fish in it. Snowfall was brutal at over 5' high on average. I didn't know that the suspended algae in a pond produces oxygen even in winter that allow fish to survive. But without light, algae dies and so did the fish. Over 110 fish were floating on the surface once the ice melted in March. The pond is 8' deep. If I knew then what I know now, I would have removed large areas of snow for light to pass through the ice which was 5" thick.
The acreage and 11' water depth should have no problem supporting life - especially aquatic plants - and unless floating fish are seen after ice out - no fish kill.

I do catch quite a number of good size bass while targeting crappie with light tackle. I don’t usually targeting bass because it wastes my precious time fishing for crappies. If I’m going for multi species, I will up my tackle a little with 1/16-1/8oz road runner.
Now I’m still a bass fisherman, and if I want bass I’ll bring a big gun for those big bass.
