what kind of lures and techniques would you use on a pond that is mainly all grass about a foot from the surface all over. Where would i start??

Buzzbaits, light spinnerbaits, Lucky Craft LV-O, t-rigged softbaits.

Chatterbait, burned over the top of the grass!

I agree with the above. There are so many things you can do when you're fishing submerged vegetation. Where you start will largely be an arbitrary decision since there are so many techniques. I'd start with something you have a lot of confidence in, then switch if it's not working.

throw a wacky rigged anything to all openings in the grass or a t-rigged swim senko, swim it on the surface.

For all grassy situations and i can attest, a great lure are any types of frog, esp. the yum buzz frogs, my fishing partner knocks em dead with these lures while im cleaning weeds of my baits, i use 6 inch worms texas rigged with small hooks so the lure does not sink right into the weeds, hope this helps

topwaters, cranks, spinners -- buzzbaits'll pull em out of the grass -- rattles also let em know something's coming
