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!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.
Heavy cover typically means a soft bottom. Lighter weights don't sink into the muck on bottom. I'm imagine bass don't enjoy a mouth full of mud.
top water frogs baby
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.
I flipped into heavy cover for the first time today w a 3/8 jig. Bass tooky bait andy knot came untied 😢😭
Good stuff, thanks. Tight lines

Have you fished the ross barnett reservoir in Mississippi
Pretty good tips as always brotha! Appreciate what you do for anglers!
what name your boat, can you review that ? thank
Thanks for the info and keep it coming please!! I also like how you link the videos in the videos…very helpful, for me at least. 👍
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?
Very informative tips on heavy cover, 👍👍👍.
I love the size of that rod.
Love the tight, concise editing..very professional..you pack a lot of info into a short presentation.
Thank you for the informative video, really great
When ruining braid do you tie on a leader or straight braid?
Saw 1 shake before hitting my frog last weekend
Tons of timely, detailed information in a short time. Thank you!
I'm assuming this requires a baitcasting reel. I currently only have spinning reels which clearly doesn't handle 65lb braid well lol
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 😂😂
Love the channel. I've only been bass fishing about 4 years but, I always taught you had to hookset hard to turn their and get the bass out of the cover?
Another quality informative video. I can usually tell what lake your on, but this video for me stumped.. I'm gonna guess st. Mary's? Is that where your at?
Great vid. Are you pegging the weight?
