How to approach LMB jumping in middle of large brush pile

Featured Replies

Ok, so there is a lake that I frequent where I see bass jumping around in the middle of a large bush/brush pile.  Its almost like a tree about 5 ft tall with very tough reeds/straws growing out of it.  The bass are literally jumping right in the middle of it.  If you look closely, you can see tons of line and other tackle hung up and caught in there.  Is there an approach to somehow get to these bass without the luxury of heavy braided line?  I've tried to do small pitches to the outter edges, but no luck yet.

 

Thanks!

The lake I fish has a brush pile similar to that. I've lost a lot of crankbaits running through it but I've caught 2 bass over 5 lbs in it this year on a Squarebill. Another thing I do is throw a Senko right it the middle of it and that produced a big bass last year. Also throw a jig or a t rigged plastic in there. About all you can do is take a chance on getting hung up but sometimes it really pays off.

   I used to use a senko, too. Got hung up a lot, too. Now I use this.
