You should turn to grass for bass
After the warmth of
summer, there’s no
doubt that your favor
ite fishing hole has some
vegetation built up in it. In
summer, when the water
warms, the different aquat
ic vegetations are able to
bloom. And if you are a bass
angler, there’s nothing that
makes you happier than
grass in a fishery.
Grass is important to a
fishery for a multitude of
reasons. First, young fish
(called fry) are able to retreat
into the dense aquatic vege
tation and escape predation.
These fry could be young
bass or any other species,
but because they are able to
get some refuge in the grass,
there is more likely to be a
better survival rate - mean
ing more bass or bass for
age in the future. Secondly,
when there is grass in a fish
ery, these aquatic plants will
provide forage for baitfish
like minnows. If there’s a
healthy minnow population
present, the bass benefit, as
well.
As a professional angler, I
can tell you that the presence
of grass excites me when I
get on the water. Mostly, I
am excited because I know I
can start my fishing efforts
around grass; employing
techniques that typically do
well near this vegetation.
There’s no shortage of ways
to attack grass in the late
summer, but here’s three
that are very productive.
If you like to catch large
mouth bass, then you’re
already acquainted with
flipping and pitching. It’s
an amazing effective way of
getting a bait into a small
area, putting it right in the

bass’s face and delivering it
with accuracy and without
disturbing the fish with a
big splash. One of the best
ways to attack grass is to
scope the grass beds through
your polarized sunglasses
and look for holes in the
vegetation.
Once I find such a hole,
I like to pitch a Berkley
Powerßait Chigger Craw
into the hole. Rigged on a
4/0 wide-gap hook with a
1- to 1-ounce weight using
20-pound Berkley Trilene
100% Fluorocarbon line, I
put a Green Pumpkin-col
ored Chigger Craw in the
hole and let it sink. Often,
bass will hit these baits on
the fall. If not, I drag it
through the hole.
Pulling bass out of heavy
vegetation requires tough
line and a rod with a lot of
backbone.
If flipping and pitching
holes doesn’t work, I like to
