My local lake has tons of green slimy moss in it. It covers all the bottom and all the stick ups and cover down to 12-15 foot depth. Just about any lure that I use as soon as it hits some cover gets covered in green slime. Anyone fish similar situations and have recommendations on what and how to fish this without getting covered in moss every cast? There are some nice Largemouth Bass and Northern Pike in the lake as well as Bluegill, Green sunfish and bullhead catfish. I mainly fish for the bass but end up with pike on the line a lot. The pike make it a necessity to use a wire leader or donate lures to the pike, those teeth are sharp. Any recommendations other than a wire leader. I know it is costing me opportunities at bass. I have thought about heavy flouro leaders. Thanks for any advice.
