| Weedless plastics
or surface baits pitched at the bank and then brought
into the water slowly are good choices. Heavy abrasion
resistant line is a must as are accurate casts. Any
fish that hits your lure can easily get your line wound
around a branch unless you have the equipment to get
him out of there in a hurry. If there were no scum here,
jigs would be a good choice as would anything that resembles
a baitfish as long as you could retrieve it without
snagging.
If a fish fails to hit your offering, try hitting
the bank with a weedless surface bait and bringing it
back slowly, then pause it before making a slight commotion
with it. Many times the fish need a little encouragement,
especially if Big Bird is anywhere near them.
