BassThumbAddict Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Today I went out on a little pond in Norman, Oklahoma that has lots of vegetation in it. I tied on a 1/2 ounce tungsten weight (pegged) with a Mustad 5/0 EWG with a pit boss. Dipped the tails in a little jj's and got after it. I've watched probably every video on YouTube about fishing including ones about punching matted grass for bass. On my 4th cast I felt something that felt a little different than the weight of me punching through the grass. I set the hook and I had a 2 lb fish on. Even though I had then caught a fish on the rig I didn't feel confident in deciphering a bite from grass. I went on to catch three more about the same size, but also set the hook on a lot that were not fish. It sure is a fun way to catch them, but I just need more practice to be able to tell if it's a bite. 3 Quote
