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.
