| There are two fish in the top
picture and one fish in the lower picture. Can you spot them?
There are several things going for an area
like this. First, there is cover for the bait fish. Second, there is cover
for the predators as well. As you can see, the shore line is rip rap but
there is also a healthy weed line growing along the bank. Both sides of
the weeds should be fished. Bass will often sit right up against the bank
waiting to attack anything that swims into the water. Anything weedless, a
plastic frog, or a plastic lizard should do the trick.
On the other side of the weed line there
will often be fish on the prowl looking for anything that swims out of the
weeds. Very often the fish will back themselves into the weeds and wait
for something to swim by. Spinners and crank baits are often a good
choice.
Inside the weeds you will often see holes.
Try to avoid casting directly into these holes. Cast beyond them and let
you lure swim into the opening where there might be a fish waiting. Often
you will not see the fish because he is under the slop at the holes edge.
One other thing to consider is that there
is often a drop off just below where the weeds stop on the outside. Click
