I would love find some ponds with a lot of grass and vegetation, but haven't had too many chances to fish that. I love fishing wood, there's a lot of it around my ponds.

Oh I don't know!

I fish a lot of vegetation, brush, & timber; like all 3!

The ponds I fish unfortunately don't have a lot of visable cover. I'm forced to mainly fish the rocky banks.

Whichever doesnt eat the crap out of my lures on that particular day

Love fishing laydowns and weedlines.

Fallen Trees and stumps mostly. It is what I feel most confident around.

Rock and weedbeds.

I fish a lot of streams so laydowns, boulders, and current breaks.

I'd say laydowns, tree stumps, grass.

*Rock* is structure, not cover. Just saying.

Almost all cover is good for fish.  Some cover is harder to fish then others, but almost all hold fish.  Our shallow Florida Lakes are all full of cover from native to exotic.  If you have seen it in a aquarium, its in our lakes.  If your going to fish these lakes you learn to deal with it.  Very little 8 pound test down here.  If you use light tackle your going to have a very frustrating day.  You often have to muscle these fish out of the junk.

For Spotted Bass fishing rocks and docks is the best way to go about it without a doubt. For Largemouth, definitely weeds, brush, logs, docks, anything that will provide them with some good cover. I will usually work those areas for a while until I have confirmed there aren't any there that are going to bite. During the summer and with high temperatures I tend to work those areas slower. During times of the year where they are in aggressive feeding patterns, if i dont get them after the first few casts, i move on to the next area.

If there is a variety of cover, I like to fish either the least abundant form, or where two types converge or coexist.

It can be both.

Laydowns, Pads, Boulders.

Docks and grasslines. Don't have pads where I fish but it looks fun.
