What is your favorite cover or structure to fish?

 

Around here, i have some lakes with giant moss beds mixed with sand bars. The moss sits right on the bottom and only grows a couple of inches. MONSTER bass roam these moss beds and sandbars in the low light hours! I also love to fish the pads.

 

What about you?

the ones they're on!!!!!

but mostly ledges with massive shellbeds

My favorite structure to fish is overhanging limbs and/or downed trees. Can't pass a log or branch without tossing to it a couple times.

Rock reefs.

Around here its fun fishing around Cyprus trees and the cyprus knee systems under the water surrounding the trees

Here on Long Island with our shallow lakes there's not much structure but plenty of cover.

My two favs are laydowns and lily pads.

I like wood and rocks.

For cover, flipping/pitching lily pads. For structure, I love fishing jigs around rocks. Big fish baits!

Docks with a fluke and rocks with a football jig

Points + dropoffs (weeds below surface a bonus).

Wood in the water.

Lilies. Stumps!! Tullies. And laydowns all I can fish my favorite baits jigs spinnerbaits and squarebills

That would depend, firstly on the species sought, secondly on the waterbody in question, and thirdly on the current season.

On balance, I've found that a good rule-of-thumb is what I've dubbed the 'priority of poverty'.

That is to say, if you're on a canyon reservoir, the value of shelf areas goes through the roof.

If you're in a featureless saucer-shaped natural lake, the value of deep water and drop-offs are at a premium.

The fact that there is no structural holy grail only adds to the challenge

Boat docks

Weeds

Stumps 

Rocks

The few neighborhood ponds I fish dont have a lot of visable structure/cover, so Id have to say maybe rocks for me, and the occasional tree in the water when Im lucky enough to have one in pitching distance.

Shallow brush

Rocky hump or submerged island or the same structure with grass. If there aren't any, give me a rip-rap shoreline.

Pads and grass/the thickest crap I can find, submerged timber, rocky bottoms.

Whatever the big girls are on or in.

Rocks are my security blanket, I feel safe when I'm fishing rocks 

 

I love fishing smaller docks too, but hate trying to fish the large, commercial docks, unless that's where the fish are 

See, I never think about throwing under these docks when I go to the lakes and what not. Guess that's what happens when ya bank fish all the time; I forget to check things RIGHT along the side. 

Shallow water grass is my favourite. I also enjoy rocks.

I have had success recently with laydowns and stumps.

Give me some grass please.
