I have several of these ponds in my area, and one tactic that has worked well for me is a worm weight.
These fish will hold to the weeds, you just dont know at what depth.
You can get worm weights and bullet weights rubber to stop the worm weight. Leave 6-12 inches of line (leader) from your hook to the weight.
If you are still having trouble punching through, put the weight (the rubber makes you easily able to slide the weight) right up snug with the eye of the hook.
Jigs are great, but not 100% "weedless". So in a mossy situation, I would stay away from the jig. Use these worm weights and/or weighted hooks.
