Need a little help on my weekend fishing trip

[iowabass]

So I am going to fish a small farm pond this weekend and don't know what to use... I'll get some pictures tomorrow of the pond but it is about the size of a football field and from the looks of it most of it is covered in pads and moss... in other words "slop". Most people shy from the pond because of the inability to easily fish it. What i am wondering about is there is about 1/3 of it that is open... so to speak. I know that there is some vegetation on the bottom. To reach this section easily , most likely will need my canoe to get to it. What is the best way to fish this part? And for the slop I am thinking ribbit frogs... they have served me well in the past, but anything else that you can recommend would be great. I know that there are some good size bass in there. Like I said, I will try to get some pictures of it tomorrow as well as depth and type of veggies there. Thanks
