I'm learning a small 3600 acre lake in South Alabama.  I have only been out a few times, but this is what I have learned so far.  I am hoping someone can help come up with some new strategies.  It is 90% covered with submerged grass and alot of emergent grass as well.  I have had absolutely no luck on top of the grass, but I think thats just the time of year and water temp.  That will come around eventually.  I've tried Texas rigging, spinnerbaits, Jigs, hard jerk baits, flukes, and have had no luck getting these fish to hit. The only fish I have been able to catch were in an area that was not covered in submerged grass.  I found a rip rap wall and fished it hard because it was the ONLY different area I could find.  It paid off, I caught 15 or so fish in a matter of a couple hours. However, I know there are fish in other areas around this lake, and I wanna learn how to target them.  Any advice?

Once the grass grows a little more, more towards summer try finding pockets in between grass, you'll know when you find one as it'll go straight down and look like a hole. Flip/pitch a t rig craw down there. Do it a few times, if nothing move on to the next hole you find. See how that works for you

Since there is so much grass, look for ANYTHING different. Even minor things within the grass like change in bottom type, contour changes, pockets holes and edges in the grass along with other types of cover in the grass like a long stump or an additional type of vegetation. Look for something to is out of the ordinary that would make bass pick that spot over the surrounding grass
