Deep Lake With Thick Grass

Hello

I have been fishing my same lake for quite a few years, it seems hard to fish to me.

I do well but not as well as I fell I should.

The lake is 25 acres and 140 feet deep. There is heavy grass and pads all aroung the shore.

I do Ok in tere with Purple and black 6 inch worms no weight or tube jigs.

I run them on top and drop into holes where I can.I am foever getting weeds caught on my worms or tube jigs.

When I fish a little deeper the grass is thick and deep as well, 3 feet under the surface the grass is as deep as 5-6 feet.

So any plastic bait I run sits on the grass and gets tangled in it.

When I run crank baits they are always hung up on stray pieces of grass.Spinner baits are the same and I always am picking up the damm pike.

Any ideas will be great.

Thank you!!
