Any bait tips for fishing a pond that’s got a lot of thick nasty moss and grass in the bottom and some that’s suspended? I’ve been doing good using a drop shot and some weightless Texas rig worms which is pretty much all I can think of to stay away from the bottom but I’m just getting bored using the same thing . Even most moving baits get caught up in the random moss throughout the pond so lipless and squarebills have been pretty hard to use.

Swim bait, spinner bait, top water?

Weightless fluke with light wire hook will keep it high in water column and just subsurface.
topwater, even in late winter/early spring. just find shallow water in a sunny cove/pocket. try fast action all the way through long pauses. i'd start fast with a buzzbait and slow down with a frog.
also try pegging a glass bead in front of fluke and/or texas rigged senko. it makes the weeds/gunk slide right off (even works great in summer with thick green weeds).

A small paddle tail rigged on a weighted swimbait hook sheds muck pretty well and can be fished mid-column or dragged on the bottom.

Zoom U tail rigged weedless for muck on the bottom will get them on lift and pause. June bug color or black/red flake.
