Anything that will stir up the bottom and move the muck (light fluffy stuff) out of the area will work. Even a trolling motor set close to shore moving water out into the pond and walking/raking the bottom so the current generated pushes the stirred up stuff out into the pond.

Like Bluegillerkiller said, if the shoreline is accessable and the dirt isn't too soft, dumping a couple truckloads of sand would help get it in shape quickly.
