The truth is that some of the biggest bass in the body of water that you fish live in heavy cover. However some lakes can be loaded with heavy vegetation that can feel overwhelming so there are a few things you can do to catch them!

First think I target when fishing heavy cover is high percentage areas like points, pockets and any irregularity. When you are facing a lot of cover you can focus on these areas to be able to fish fast and eliminate water.

Another thing that I like to do is fish areas where the cover isn’t vast. I don’t like to fish areas where the heavy cover comes way off the bank because the bass can be anywhere and it makes them harder to locate.

Another thing I always do when fishing heavy cover is pay really close attention to the cover that I am fishing. Sometimes you will physically see bass moving in the cover and you can simply pitch you baits at reeds and pads that move and catch fish.

Finding bluegill in heavy cover and vegetation can be key to locating bass. The best thing about this is you can typically hear bluegill popping and snapping bugs off the top of the surface!

Lastly, in order to get more bites in heavy cover, try to use the lightest weight possible. This will help you to get more bites!

  1. One of my favorite memories was catchin a huge 22 or 23 inch bass in a bunch of water Lilly pads that were also overgrown with grass using a Texas- rigged top water frog. It’s so so satisfying when they blow up from cover and completely murder your lure/bait.

  2. I just watched 8 other videos ((very well known guys))) Flipping heavy cover no one explained it as good as you thank you so much for making this video it helped me a lot

  3. As a bank angler, do these boat fishing heavy cover tips still apply the same on the bank. It’s totally different from the bank in most situations. What would you do fishing heavy cover from the bank?

  4. This is the lure skipping king. I saw that learn how to skip video. And was automatically hooked. I hit the subscribe button quicker then a crack head hitting the pipe 😂😂
