When I say moss, I'm talking slimey algae. It's pretty bad almost everywhere here right now. My fingers are stained from the pulling so much of it off my baits last weekend. 

My usual spot has a healthy set of hydrilla plumes, with other grasses like pondweed. There's also a bit of filamentous algae but it's not thick. I usually start around the edges of the weeds by a few feet, and work my way in. Typically works out if there's fish there. But doing that from the opposing bank has certainly honed my casting skills, especially with a jerkbait

There are actually two outer weedlines. One you can visually see & one you can see with your electronics. 

 

Exactly like @WRB mentioned the bass maybe farther from the "mat" but still under the grass. Think ripping a Rat-L-Trap 

 

It's what we call bonus fish

 

 

 How do you determine/find the structure under the weeds/grass if no topo map, without going over it first?
