I'm not a huge basser either...I know some stuff that get me fish.
If its shallow and has a lot of weeds: Try a small spinnerbait...You can fish that in shallow water and the hook won't get snagged up on the lily pads or whatever you have in the pond.
You could also try Zoom Lizards rigged Texas style or any other sort of soft plastics (worms/grubs/senkos..etc.)
