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.

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.
