Favorite Structure to Fish?

Featured Replies

I would just like to know where people like to fish and which is the most popular. Thanks

Hydrilla beds, wedbeds, brush and trees are not structure, they are cover.

Being said that my favorite structural features are rocks.

submerged trees off the banks.

Pretty much wherever the fish are.  But, if I have a choice, docks are my favorite.  Crank baits, spinner baits, buzz baits, spooks, then flip and skip a jig n pig, skip senkos, swimming senkos and flukes.  Did I say I like docks?   :D

Structure: offshore ridges & humps

Cover: vegetation (Hydrilla, Coontail Moss, Eelgrass, & Eurasian Milfoil)

I am gonna say Hydrilla Mats. I love punching those mats or running a frog over them. Second would be docks.

I voted submerged trees, but its a toss up between that and big deep grass beds.

Structure:  Solid habitat

Cover: Ambush spots within that habitat

I have a feeling this might spawn another thread

Submerged trees...like once upon a time climbable trees is structure to me.  A lone tree or a grouping of small ones is cover.  That's just my interpretation.  Chances are, technically, Catt and Raul are right, but I already voted so I gotta stick with it  ;D

What constitutes the best cover varies from one lake to the next.

As an example, we can use the state of Florida.

As a rule of thumb, "lily pads" are deemed the most

important cover in north Florida, "hydrilla" in central Florida

and "emergent" plants in south Florida (sawgrass, bulrushes, spikerush, etc).

In the St Johns River, which flows from south to north Florida,

"eelgrass" is the most important cover...and so it goes.

Well I love to fish weedbeds, submerged trees and just about anything.

When I say anything I can find I mean anything.  ;D

Laydowns. They almost always have fish on them.

Deep water structure,drop-offs in deep water off points,anywhere on lake Isabella!

weeds, submerged weeds and weeds that barely touch the surface are my favorite

Although it says structure i'm glad to see you changed it to cover on the poll!  ;D

Weedbeds

I voted "Deep Points", but more specifically, steeply sloping, rocky points surrounded by deeper water.

Grass on offshore defined structure such as drains, points, creeks, humps, brush piles, and river channels.
