Fishing Thick Grass

Featured Replies

I have ben fishing this pond it has a realy grassy bottem i have seen some huge bass swiming around i have tried crank baits but they get coverd in grass what would be the best way to fish this pond can any one give me any tips

Weightless Zoom Super fluke

Weightless Rage Tail Anaconda

Weightless Zoom Trick Worm

Rage Tail Craw on a light keel weighted hook

Rattle Trap ripped through the top of the grass

75% of the waters I fish are grass infested and all of these are killer when worked over the grass. Just pick the right color for the water clarity and catch some fish.

What Jax just said works.

I'll add a Swimsenko, weightless or keel-weighted.

Also I like to keel-weight my Anaconda. If the Anaconda came in BLACK I'd probably fish this more often.

Last week i bought a bunch of weedless single hooks for some of my crank baits and other treble hook lures. I have to say it works great as long as its a bait that will still run properly with them on it. Only thing i cant stop is weeds from wrapping around the line and gathering on top of the lure. But other then that its a great improvement and I don't ruin as many casts by grabbing tons of salad as soon as it hits the water. By the way poppers/jitterbugs with weedless singles fished over grass mats is just amazing now. I think more companies should make weedless versions of cranks and stuff.

Great post guys thanks for the info.

Depending on how thick the grass is use a football head jig to punch through the grass.

I love to fish a jig in thick grass. A 3/4oz+ grass jig. I also agree with many of the above suggestions, especially the fluke, but I wouldn't use a football jig in grass. Jigs are fun in grass but require the right outfit to properly use, 7'+ heavy power/ fast action rod is ideal. If you do not have this, a texas rigged worm can much more easily be thrown on lighter rods. I recommend a 5 or 6 inch Yum Dinger in "Watermelonseed" or "Green Pumpkin" if the water is clear, or a darker or flashier color if the water is not clear. Use a 3/0 or 4/0 EWG worm hook and a 1/4-3/8 oz (tungsten[ideally]) bullet weight.

Good info on this topic so far one thing I may add especially if the grass is at the surface is a frog or rat top water lure.
