Considered using a Carolina rig? It consists of a small bullet type slip sinker just above a swivel; not a snap swivel. Attach a piece of 4 lb test line(about 3 or 4 ft) to an unweighted hook that is garnished with a grub and piece of worm. The grub may be optional in really cloudy water. The actual bait floats above the FA and the sinker goes through the junk pretty well. An additional piece of gear is often used. Get a couple of glass beads and put them between the weight and the swivel as clickers. However, I doubt that they click a lot in FA.
Although upsized, this is the favorite lure used by guides for big bass on Lake Fork. It's deadly.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
