This should help quite a bit.

t-rigged weightless

Culprit makes lots of colors, so I'd assume you've got a color you like.  I would suppose weightless texas rigs would work in this situation - me, for the most part I lack the patience to fish a texas rigged worm weightless.

There might be better baits to approach this situation than the standard Culprit ribbon tail worm. but from here I don't know if that is true or not.  If I was determined to see if a Culprit worm would work in this situation, first, I'd find the outside edge of the weedline.  Then I'd find jig head style I liked.  I'd probably start with a Brewer super snagless head - 3/16 or 1/4 and 8 or 10 lb fluorocarbon line on a decent sensitive spinning rod with enough of a backbone that I could count on setting the hook from 30 to 45 feet away.

Then I'd fish from the exact edge of the weedline to 3 or 4 feet off the edge of the weedline.  I'd swim the bait through the upper portions of the water column and I'd drag it or hop it along the bottom.  If you've got a color graph that's showing weeds everywhere, the little blue specks that come and go on the screen are frequently fish.

If I was facing into the sun, I'd make shorter casts than I would if the sun was at my

back.  Basically, length of casts is a judgement call.  Once I was rigged and was committed to an outside edge area, I'd stick with it for an hour or so - be sure and give it enough time to thoroughly fish the area.  Weedline fishing can get tedious - I might bust out a beer or two while I was fishing this area.

On a positive note, weedline fish tend to aggregate, so if you do get bit, there is a strong probability that there are more fish near.  Good luck

If you're fishing clear water you should be using a color like pumpkin seed, but use whatever you feel comfortable with. I personally like the fire & ice, but I fish murky water. I like to peg my line with a light bullet weight toothpicked. I just let the worm sink to the bottom. Just lift it up and let it hit the bottom, and be sure you're keeping tension on that line, so that it is nice and straight with little to no slack. You'll usually get a bite when it is falling.

t-rigged with as light a weight as you can get away with and still feel to bottom.  Drag it, hop it, dead-stick it - the fish will tell you how they want it retrieved.  After you catch one, duplicate the retrieve you were using.

Use light colors for clear water
