I'm mad because this spot is covered in floating stuff but the one good cast that I got without hitting a debris, I immediately caught a bass… What could be done ? Getting a paddle board or a kayak and a giant rake and just go at it for an afternoon ? This is a very small pond by the way, almost all of it is shown in the picture

All that slop and algae is what gives the bass cover, I can almost guarantee that if you try to remove all that stuff, the fishing will suffer. I’d throw a frog around in there
Was it a good bass? Provably not worth it if theres a couple little fish, it doesnt look like it would hold much. Looks shallow warm and in sun for most of day, whatever cleaning work you do will grow back quickly. Only effective way would be pesticides to prevent regrowth and you need a liscense or company to do that. Do you even own the pond? Pretty sure its illegal to disturb ecosystems without permisson like that whether you think its for the good or not.
Nah don’t fuck with nature, the fish need that stuff.
It keeps your pond healthy, and feeds the planet oxygen, the vast majority of which comes from algae, not trees as we were taught as children.
You could remove some of this but I wouldn’t more than half of it.
Learn to fish top water, a frog in this environment would be huge.
