Hey fellas a question. The lake I fish most of the time is turning over and there are clumps of dead and dying weeds in some spots over about 8 to 12 ft of water do these clumps of weeds holds fish? And whats the best way to fish them with plastic worms?

You can frog it or pitch a tube or plastic worm through it.< let me give you a better answer than this. If the mats are loose and just floating around in 8 to 12 ft of water bass might stop and use places like this for short periods of time to feed but in open water its less likely. When the stuff stacks up because of wind or moves to the shore or if you have a cove that's covered bass will be there all day long.

If I remember my biology, decaying plants in water eat up oxygen. If a cove is filled with them, I'd think that at some point the oxygen level would drop to a point where the bass won't hang around, as they are very oxygen sensitive. best way to find out, though, is to fish it. I'd try a scum frog or something similar. If the mat is free of the bottom, you could also try a t-rigged worm with a weight heavy enough to punch thru the mat.

Yankee, you are dead on the head, my friend.  If you have a place that has more dying weeds than living, then there will not a stronge presence of any type of fish, as fish will look for stronger areas of stabilized O2.

Dying weeds take up oxygen that is in the water, thus, pushing away the fish.  Therefore, it is not a good idea to fish these areas.  

The only time that you would be able to fish them is if the weeds have just started dying, and there are more living weeds than dead, or if all the weeds are completely dead, with none in the transistion of dying.  Then, you will be able to catch a few bass from them

Thanks fellas Im going out wed and fri and I fish a lot of weightless t rigs guess Ill try to put a small bullet weight on them and I have some Slider hooks Ill give a try. I dont know if the floating weed masses are blocking out all the sun and there are a few coves that go to deeper waters with a lot of large boulders there I might try fishin the border between the rocks and the deep water as these spots prove lucrative in the spring

have to agree with NWGA on this one...dying/dead weeds =less O2 =less bait =less bass.  Typically your deeper weeds will be the last to die.  Try fishing a little closer to some deeper water but still in the weeds.  I would avoid those floating mats all together.
