Have you tried drop shotting from the rowboat ...

Dropshotting? What's that and with what bait? How to know you're near
the bottom without touching bottom? Update: pond is actually more like 12
acres, and 15-20 feet at the deepest spot.


Jeff,

Here's a couple articles that might be able to help you out on dropshotting.

It can be a deadly tactic when you're dealing with nasty bottoms. It sounds
like you have filamentous algae, that yes, that's some real garbage to fish
in.
