mossy bottoms

[goosecreekguy]

What techniques work when fishing shallow in water with a heavy layer of mossy grass on the bottom?

In this case, it's a 100 acre reservoir with very little rock, shoreline structure or submerged timber...

Any suggestions are very appreciated.

a texas rigged tube will cut through that stuff pretty easily

Weightless Yum Dinger, Flukes, Spinnerbaits, Topwater. This is the time of year for all that good shallow bait tossin.

Hey, I really do appreciate the advice fellas. What kind of buzzbaits do you recommend? DJD, you said YUM dingers...how should I rig them? Any suggestions for fluke sizes/colors? I've never fished them with success. '

I love the Stanley Ribbits...do you ever let them fall or just topwater?

Thanks again for the tips.

I just rig them texas rig (no weght) wth a 2/0 or 3/0 EWG Gammy. They are plenty heavy for casting with baitcasters. If I'm skipping them I'll use spinning tackle and fireline.

I don't use the Stanley baits but when I use Zoom Horny Toads I always let them fall when coming to a hole in the grass or when pulling away from the grass line. I think any bait that can be paused and twitched around cover is a good way to fish them. JMO.

My favorite buzzbaits are Cavitron. I have used others but always come back to the Cavitron.
