Hello, I was night fishing in a pond the other day, and I kept running into a reoccurring problem with the filamentous algae in the area. This algae is not just surfaced based; it also tends to grow below the surface as well. I was using Texas rigged worms because they are weedless, but I found that the algae just engulfs the entire lure. I would retrieve the bait only to find it covered in this thick goo. This was a reccurring problem for other soft plastics as well (Swim baits, flukes, craws etc.) I also couldn't fish a buzz bait, because this Filamentous Algae would get tangled in the blade and prevent it from spinning properly.
Do you guys have any lure recommendations?
Was I using the lures wrong?
Pole/Line Recommendations etc?
Down below are picture links of the stuff I was dealing with!!! Thanks
