| Bass will often
congregate around the underwater brush that was placed
here by a beaver. This area also has pond scum, timber
along the banks, and overhanging brush. Because there
are so many things that will attract fish, it's a good
idea to have more than one rod rigged with the appropriate
tackle. |

| When fishing
the wood, line that is abrasion resistant should be
used. It should also be strong enough to pull a decent
fish out before he can bury himself. The same goes for
dragging a surface bait over the scum. When a bass is
hooked, he will head for the bottom and try to bury
himself in the weeds or timber. Once your line gets
wrapped around something like a branch, forget about
landing the fish. Be sure to pitch weedless lures such
as plastic lizards to the bank and slowly swim them
into the water or onto the scum. Bass will often be
right up against the bank when there is overhanging
brush or an opening inside a weed line. |
