Grass Fishing

[Kellss]

There are huge expanses of grass, like the stuff in the photo, on my home lake. Looking for some tips on how to approach these areas (i.e. what lures to use, any specific angles to approach it at, etc.). The lake is in southern Canada (think lakes in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, etc.) and is dominated equally by smallmouth and largemouth.

I would throw Chatterbait and weightless senko. Probably a weedless rigged keitech underspin as well.

Go with the the lay of the grass with a willow blade spinnerbait. If topwater is your preference, a buzzbait, or toad. For a bottom presentation, fish a swim jig on the bottom, or a T-rig, but peg the sinker.

I look for stuff like that!

Other than what’s already been said, I’d throw a Speed Worm or Cut R right through it

From my time fishing Oneida, I remember well that any places where the grass is interrupted by some other hard bottom like rock is a good place to fish, as well as anywhere there are significant depth changes, or where the grass mats up. Your lake may be similar

I'd be pulling a swim jig through that grass.
