Grubber Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I fish a pond that is fairly shallow(3"-25") and packed with weeds. I wonder if there are any lure that work best in weeds Quote
Super User Marty Posted July 31, 2005 Super User Posted July 31, 2005 Any lure can work well in weeds if you can fish it without getting it hung excessively. You say "packed with weeds", but I don't know if you mean they're all over the surface or submerged. Naturally if they're covering most of the surface, you need Texas-rigged soft plastics and weedless topwaters. If they're submerged, spinnerbaits and crankbaits worked over the weeds, and contacting the weeds, will do quite well, in addition to soft plastics and topwaters. Quote
Rattlinrogue Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I fish in a lake a lot like you describe.A lot of shallow ,grassy flats.The deepest I've seen on my depth finder is 19 ft. at the dam.It's about 300 acres.I use topwaters early and late.I also have a lot of success with a spinnerbait,just keeping it above the grass.Really,you want to barely nip the grass.I also use a shallow C-bait like a Mann's Minus 1-.Weightless plastics are good.I tried something that sounds crazy ,but it works.I cast a dropshot rig and fish it just like I would fish a T-rig. Just have the hook above the grass.the weight gets some grass on it but so what. Quote
Phishn_Phool Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 I myself am just learniing to fish the heavy weeds down here. I recently have been having fun buzzing a zoom horney toad over the top of weeds or pads and just as I clear the weeds or come to a hole in the pads I stop it and hang on. I have caught several like this in the last couple days. Try it CPR ;D Quote
goldenmonkey Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 weightless fin-s fish has always been good to me in thick weeds. Quote
Pond-Pro Posted August 1, 2005 Posted August 1, 2005 Wieghtless T-rigged stick baits. Also try a spinnerbait along the edge of the weeds and a frog crawled over the weads. I like fishing in weeds. They make it harder for lesser fishermen. Quote
Oilpig Posted August 2, 2005 Posted August 2, 2005 A live mouse held to a large treble hook with a rubberband. Can you say DY-NO-MITE? ;D Try it out. The folks at the pet store will not be happy if you tell 'em why you're buying mice, so keep that hush hush Quote
