What's Your Favorite Cover To Fish In What Weather And Time Of Year.

[coryn h. fishowl]

I personally love weed beds in summer, and logs/blowdowns in spring. Rocks are great in early morning and anytime during spring due to their absorbtion of warmth/radiation. when it comes to choosing in summer between weed beds and logs, indecision reigns. What about you? what cover do you favor  based on weather and time of year.

Early summer mats, froggin'. There is NO more exciting way to catch bass.

[Oregon Native]

Spring time flippin jigs or tubes in wood along rocky or hardpan banks.

Although this bama rig is becoming addictive!!!

[Bass Junkie]

Frogging 10/10. I prefer it from the bank in a clear water pond with good vegetation. There is no feeling in the world like sitting down on the bank to keep your profile low and having a 5+ fish blow up on the frog right in front of you. Cardiac Arrest is a very likely side-effect

Anytime I'm pitching jigs/t-rigs I'm smiling. Laydowns, mats, cut banks, docks, reed beds; I'm not picky! Fall or spring are my favorite time.

Fishing from shore, I rely heavily on weed beds during the summer months.

[roadwarrior]

I like just about every situation and all techniques, but my two favorites are fishing ledges in the summer for largemouth

and fishing the Tennessee River for smallmouth in the fall and winter.The reservoirs in the spring are producing huge

numbers and big sacks. 20-30 bass and a 25 lb "best' five is pretty common right now. I think everyone attending this

year's RoadTrip has a shot at a 10 lb bass, PB and big numbers.  I can hardly wait!

Jigs and wood are my favorite combo and that catches me some pigs.

A close second would be frogging in the thick stuff.

[mjseverson24]

Heavy milfoil (tends to have the larger fish) frogs, jigs, t-rigs. these situations have accounted for most of the big fish I catch in tournaments, especially if there is deep water near by.

My favorite cover is the ones the big girls are hanging by! Doesn't matter what its made of as long as the girls are there.

[jkarol24]

Nothing like setting the hook on a hog while pitching a weedbed

[tritonguy]

Spring-Docks, summer- docks and fall- docks.  I love fishing docks.

[ryguy1303]

I really love to fish really thick, green cover. Lilypads, algae, weed beds etc. Best to fish in the dead heat of the summer because the bass love to hide under stuff like this for shade. I always use a rubber worm with a weighted hook texas rigged. Also-I like to fish the weed ends with a medium diving crank too. i often catch straggler basss that are roaming the edges looking for lost baifish.

Topwater over submerged weed beds

[Bankbeater]

I like to fish jigs around standing timber, or fallen trees.  I like to fish in the weeds also, but cleaning the weeds off of the bait gets old after a while.

Nothing beats flipping or pitching a Rage craw or jig into the thickest bush. I mean the places most people wouldn't think to place a bait. Next would be draging a weightless senko across a thick mat and letting it fall into the holes.

[flippin and pitchin]

Right now.  Cranking breaks and creek channel ledges and up on the flats. This is the best time to have a 70 fish day and catch a six pound smallmouth. Pitchin a jig to buck brush is fun too.

Coryn, color depends on water clarity, not time of year or structure.

Hydrilla = clean water and big fish
