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.

Just been watching for a few months. Super tips and huge level of common sense. You and fluke are the best
I'm trying to learn as much about heavy cover as I can. This video was really great. Very detailed about technique and also exact gear. 😊 THANKS for your Awesome tips.
Tons of timely, detailed information in a short time. Thank you!
Love your video’s man. Thanks for taking the time.
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.
Just stopping in for some quick tips before I go punching tomorrow😎💯
Pretty good tips as always brotha! Appreciate what you do for anglers!
Great video!!!!! Gonna keep these tips in mind on upcoming Florida trip

Hi Tyler, Are you using PowerPro 50lb Braid line? You didn't talk about the maker. Let us know, Happy New Year & Stay safe
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?

I love the size of that rod.
Great vid. Are you pegging the weight?
When ruining braid do you tie on a leader or straight braid?
When I hear what rods to use do st croix bass MOJO fit in that category for a jig? This is what I've always used but is it optimal?
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?

That’s what we are all taught growing up. But if you are using a bug weight, over 1oz, you will miss and lose and lot of bass by setting the hook too hard
Aesome videos 👍👍👍👍 What brand of sunglasses are those they are real nice? Would like to get me a pair.

On the lighter weight....is it the actual size of the weight? More of a tungsten questions I guess there
what name your boat, can you review that ? thank
Can I do braid to a fluoro leader?
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.

He says, "as you can see we have heavy cover". Proceeds to get out of boat and walk across grass mat, fishing the tiny open spots like ice holes! 🤣 All joking aside, that's thick man!

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?
@tinman6514
2 жыл бұрын
Absolutely. Envision things in your mind but shallow to deep, as you're on the bank; pick it apart just the same using the information, and remember to be patient... you can go for a few hours and not get bit, but when you find them it'll be worth it... Heavy cover fishing isn't for everyone but it's the most rewarding ~ Peace
ok so from 5:00 to 9:15pm i went out and was froggin punching, open water, and not a sing bite or blow up. what am i doing wrong, its been damn near 2 weeks since i got a fish. making me want to sell my gear

I feel you I haven’t caught a bass in like a week or so I think it’s because of the ponds I fish at
I flipped into heavy cover for the first time today w a 3/8 jig. Bass tooky bait andy knot came untied 😢😭
I'm assuming this requires a baitcasting reel. I currently only have spinning reels which clearly doesn't handle 65lb braid well lol

I use a medium heavy Abu Garcia vendetta spinning rod 6 ft 6 inches, size 4000 reel, 30lb straight braid for my flipping and punching. It isn’t ideal but it gets me by because I use that rod/reel for other things as well. That rod is plenty enough backbone to get out of thick lilly pads and milfoil up in New England where I’m at. Hope that helps
top water frogs baby
Exactly why I’m scared he said don’t be afraid and fish it he ain’t catch fish that I ain’t catching nothing either
