Simp is that the pond in your avatar? If so it looks big enough for a small 8ft or 10ft john boat, I think that might be your solution right there. If you get one (or have one) keep it a good distance from the pier so when you put it in the water you don't spook the bass there.
Even if its a small pond a boat makes a huge difference if you just use a paddle and don't disturb the water to much, just paddle to the middle of it and drop anchor and fish every bank from right there.
Or get a motor powered heavy weedeater machine and a handsaw and wack down a few spots around the pond so you have clear areas to bank fish from. I know that sounds like a little work but once you get that done you will be glad you have those options on the bank to fish from other than just your peir.
