TRsenko28 Posted August 3, 2013 Posted August 3, 2013 Went fishing today and this pond had this stuff all on the bottom of the pond every time I hooked a fishing it would come off, really started to make me mad...need some advice because there are some decent size bass in their thanks, Tyler Quote
Mccallister25 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 I used to let senkos fall into the hydrilla around one of my local lakes, and twitch em a time or two. Bass would slam them. A selection of sizes too. 1 Quote
Super User Wayne P. Posted August 4, 2013 Super User Posted August 4, 2013 It would be egeria or hydrilla, just the leaves are slighty different. Quote
Kevin22 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 Looks like Hydrilla as already stated above me. Relatively easy to fish compared to coontail and some of the other weeds. Try a senko or similar weightless rigged plastics. Quote
Global Moderator Mike L Posted August 4, 2013 Global Moderator Posted August 4, 2013 Looks like Hydrilla to me... Yes it can be a pain to fish through sometimes, but believe me, down here in Fla thats where the big girls live. The cleanest water in your pond will be where it's grows. Rig up a swim bait, fluke, trap, spinnerbait, chatterbait and reel it through just ticking the top of that "stuff" When you feel it getting hung up a little, just pull it through with a hard yank. If there are any fish in area, grab the rod tight. Pitch a jig, craw, worm and yes a Senko into the holes and make sure you're not napping!! Don't get aggrevated because you have it and you're losing fish where it grows... If it wasn't growing there you probably wouldn't be getting bit in that area in the first place. Mike Quote
GeorgiaBassBros Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 As already stated thats hydrilla. I dont know how that lake is but one of the lakes i fish around here is so choked out in the summer its not possible to fish. Just wait til winter Quote
Kevin22 Posted August 4, 2013 Posted August 4, 2013 As already stated thats hydrilla. I dont know how that lake is but one of the lakes i fish around here is so choked out in the summer its not possible to fish. Just wait til winter Winter in MD involves 8" augers and 24" rods. Quote
GeorgiaBassBros Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Winter in MD involves 8" augers and 24" rods. Winter in Georgia involves sweatshirts and jeans. People here freak out when it gets below 25 1 Quote
pbizzle Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 That's hydrilla. Lake Chickamauga is chock full of it. I tear them up in it using a quarter once bullet and an 11' net bait green pumpkin c-mac. I also caught my pb (only 4 1/2) by using a watermelon seed super fluke with a chartreuse tail. Quote
TRsenko28 Posted August 5, 2013 Author Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks for all the advice yea it was raining start with a senko caught a few then I switched to a popper caught a few but what really mad me mad was I threw on my black spro frog had a hammer bite I mean hard hit reeling it taking it slow because it was going threw all the stuff line broke I was so mad it was at least an 7 to 8 pound hammer. Need to buy a froggin rod with heavier line to get threw that stuff thanks for the advice Quote
motodmast Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 yeah get your self some braid and it will slice right through that stuff when a fish is on Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted August 6, 2013 Super User Posted August 6, 2013 If you're in a boat don't try and horse the bass through that stuff. Just make sure you keep the line tight and move the boat over to where the bass is. Quote
TRsenko28 Posted August 7, 2013 Author Posted August 7, 2013 I was using braid and fishing from land but I need to buy a frogging rod and put 60 pound test on her I was just using my carrot stik spinning rod so I was ready for a big fish like that so it was my fault Quote
