Super User Bankbeater Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 I like laydowns, and deep vegetation. Quote
Delaware Valley Tackle Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I don't have a favorite type of cover, but I do like casting to visible targets whether it's a stump, hole in the pads, a turn in the weedline etc. I enjoy surveying the landscape and looking for the fish's hiding spot. That said, I know I miss out to some degree by not focusing on the deeper, less visible cover some days. I'm working on reading electronics, maps etc. and finding some off shore spots. 1 Quote
Mainebass1984 Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I prefer to fish wood. In an ideal situation I would be fishing submerged trees a mile off of shore. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 Rocks aren't typically "cover" but they can used similarly. Boulders come to mind, but generally the immovable bottom is referred to as structure and anything over it is cover. My favorite cover is fallen trees. 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 I like the cover that No One Else Knows Is There . . . And it's LOADED. A-Jay 2 Quote
Super User whitwolf Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 laydowns, grass, and almost impenetrable. Quote
Super User gulfcaptain Posted March 30, 2015 Super User Posted March 30, 2015 Grass first and foremost. Deep or shallow, emergent or submerged, followed by wood. And I'll include shade into this list as well as sometimes it's the only cover available and can be quickly overlooked by many. Quote
Super User WRB Posted March 31, 2015 Super User Posted March 31, 2015 I like fishing rock cover. What about you guys?Rock is structure where I fish. Cover is something that naturally grows or man made things that float.We have very few docks except at marinas, good cover. Trees, brush, any wood, weed beds, etc are cover that I fish. Tom Quote
gr8outdoorz Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 My favorite cover to fish is cover that holds bass...don't care what it's made of. Quote
5fishlimit Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Love fishing laydowns and weedlines. This. Quote
Super User Grizzn N Bassin Posted March 31, 2015 Super User Posted March 31, 2015 I fish grass a lot.. laydowns and stumps, cattails. Found a few old rock walls at in some big ponds but I consider that structure. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted March 31, 2015 Super User Posted March 31, 2015 What do you guys consider rip rap ? Quote
ColdSVT Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 Wood! I dont care if its a stump, log, tree, brush pile, beaver hut, a dock or even a wooden boat! I cant resist it lol Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 2, 2015 Super User Posted April 2, 2015 Grass, and docks/boat hoists with posts. With wood ranking right up there. I hate pads, but love matted milfoil. That said, I'll never bypass a stretch of pads. My least favorite is floating docks/swim platforms. Our lakes are loaded with them, but I can count on one hand the number of decent bass I have caught off them. Part of the problem is they are usually out in no-mans land to get away from the grass, and usually only hold small schooling suspending fish. They are panfish magnets though, so you would figure decent bass would probably not be too far, but I probably just suck at fishing them, and move on pretty quick. 1 Quote

Djman72 Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Love fishing laydowns and weedlines. It's almost time, Mr. DyerBassMan.... I just spooled up my reels this weekend. Might wet a line on Saturday if it's not too windy. Have you been out yet? Oh... and Laydowns are my #1 followed by Pads/scum. I'm a sucker for the topwater bite. Quote

Tom I would agree that bedrock and ledgerock are 'structure', but not rocks and stones that can be moved. Chunk rock, rubble and boulders are typically classified as 'rocky cover', as distinguished from 'woody cover' and 'weedy cover'. Roger 1 Quote
