Next I would like to recommend some baits which have brought me the most success in matted weed conditions. These all fall under the same catagory and I rely on them as my go to baits from this time of year through september here in So Cal. I'm talking about jerkbaits. Depending on the weed situation your probably going to want stick with the soft weedless jerk baits like the bass assasin, zoom jerk minnow, sluggo's and for slow presentations try the senko. Try senkos when the fish get less active and bite gets tough during the day. Senkos have proven to be the key for unlocking the jaws of finicky bass. All of these baits allow you to fish a lure right over the top or even straight through thick weeds with out getting hung up or mossed. Depending on how you fish them you can sink them down as deep as you need to or even just walk them across the surface. This makes them very versitle. You can fish alot of the water column with a single bait. The walk the dog presentation works very well for presenting these baits. Good luck and keep the reports coming..
