In this episode I am out doing some exploring at a new lake. I thought it was going to be a swamp, but instead it was a quarry pit, with a mostly gravel bottom, glassy clear water, and thick mats of aquatic vegetation in the form of coontail and naiads.

Some anglers, especially novices, might look at the heavy weed cover and get intimidated or give up, but there are several tried and true methods that can be highly effective for bass fishing in and around heavy vegetation. Options can include weedless lures that can be fished in the weeds or over the top, as well as moving lures with flash and vibration that can help the fish detect the lure and strike accurately while hiding at the edges of the weeds. Come along for some bass fishing and stick around for some tips and tricks on how to fish grass effectively in the fall.
