  • I'm on Guntersville lake showing you how to find bass in huge grass mats. I like to use topwater frogs, flipping baits and many other lures. This is the technique that works for me and I know it will work for you over time.

      I have tried twice and failed. Got 4 blow ups but no hook ups. I have a lake with 20 feet of mats along the shore and then it gets deep 20 feet or so. Couldn't find the fish in the area i could Travel in about 7-8 hours.

    Gene I know this is an older video but it related to my latest fishing issue. I went to Guntersville for the first time last week. OMG was there grass. I’ve been watching videos for months now (kinda new at serious fishing) and heard over and over about how to fish grass. Until Guntersville it really hasn’t related to where I’ve gone before. All that for this question-Could you do a video on identifying the types of grass and what to do with the different types? You identified hydrilla in this video and I saw all of that I needed on Guntersville. Thanks if you don’t answer here I’ll catch you on your Friday night live.

    Logan is my home lake, but I've cruised up to Big G four or five times to give that grass a go in the kayak. I just can't wrap my head around it. But, this makes me want to give it another go. Funny thing...was launching in a kayak tourney. Three off us off the same ramp. We get about 100 yards off the ramp and some old coot (we left at the pier near the ramp) drug one of those huge Guntersville hogs to the pier. My biggest that day was a 14" fish.

    I have driven past that lake in my 30+ years of trucking. And live not too far away now in Ft Payne. I was used to fishing Lake Weiss where we lived near for 30 years. I have often wondered how the fish survive under that cover. And was even more concerned about bringing my bass boat over the mountain to fish there without cloggying the engine some way.

    • @phantomshtter
      @phantomshtter Před rokem

      Weedless lure choices obviously. Spinner baits, weedless rigged soft plastics rigged weightless or very low weight, chatterbaits, weedless swimbaits... long list of stuff that'll run through pretty decent. If they get a little snagged you just pop it loose, NOT yank on it. Up your line lb test. If you aint getting snagged you aint fishing and if you're getting snagged you're fishin the right spot.

      Lane Seaman I’m sure you can throw a frog out there in veg. But banks usually don’t have ruff vegetation. Ponds however might. But, he gives techniques on how to find fish in veg on a big lake. How do I know it’s the same for a shallow pond?
