Punching Hyacinth Mats

[mhilgtx]

I have a little pond that I fish and am using it to teach myself how to flip/pitch/punch. There are hyacinth matts that I have gone from easy to find holes to pitch into to being tight together and very lush.  Do you guys attempt to punch through this stuff or only hit the holes around the edges?

Punch through it 1-1/2 ounce weight

Yeah I usually go 1 1/4 oz weight.. But I would try 1 oz since you have it... Later during the summer when the mats gets thicker you May have to bump up to get it through 

Greg hackney lives near me.. This is is the waters I fish.. And the things I punch... Good video.

A 1 ounce Reins Tungsten, a good weight stop, a 4/0 heavy cover Flippin hook and a D bomb will get you started
