New Pond
I was wondering what i should use in a secluded pond with grass around the edges and no vegetation in the center. the middle of the pond is about 20-25 ft deep. i have only caught one out of there on a rattle-trap.

If the stuff is not a solid mat, you can use the same soft plastics over the grass and let them sink into holes. Also don't forget weedless topwaters. Good luck.

Marty my used to be grass mat was soo thick you could bring any bait over the top of it and when I Fished a worm along the edges and got a fish I had no problems getting them out and across the mat with 10lb test and a medium rod. But also I just remeber the biggest was probably about a 1.5 a half. So depending on the size of the fish in your pond. You might wanna up your line test.

I agree with Lizards. My favorite hole was literally covered with a thick mat this summer. I threw flukes and frogs. There was no way the bass could see these baits but they detected movement and or vibrations. We caught a lot of 4 and 5 lb bass in this slop. The most important factor here is that most people will ignore this water. I love it!!!!!!
