This seems like a question I just can't seem to find the answer to anywhere. My neighborhood pond has a nasty bottom and every time I throw a texas rig, jig, anything on the bottom... every time I reel in the lure it is covered with green mossy muck... is there a specific term for this?
I've tried using a drop shot. Are there any other recommendations you all have in this scenario? (types of lures, strategies, etc.?)
I know I can utilize baits that target the middle of the water column or topwater, but I don't want to be limited to those if at all possible.
If you were faced with this, what baits/lures would you use?
