I've been fishing at these ponds by my house and they are covered with grass growing at the bottom. I've been using night crawlers with a bobber. I've had ok luck catching some ok sized bass but I was wondering what else I could use to bring in more bass?

zara-spook, mossboss, hula popper, buzzbait, if you have a bit of clean water on the surface, a texas rigged soft plastic with a light weight, manns 1 minus, jointed rapala

You could also try some Mepps and Blue Fox spinners. They will also run shallow enough that you shouldn't be plagued by the weeds.

Drop shot above the weeds. If the weeds are 18" tall put the weight 20" below the worm.

Thanks for all the advice everybody. I might try some of these suggestions tomorrow.

I use the texas rig no weights...with june bug colored worms...slow reel across the top, and or toss and wait for them to hit when it sinks.

In July and Aug..lol this is the toughest months of the year..at least here in FL.

What works for me..
I fish the lunar times
I get on the water 1 hour before daylight...
I flip promising places with a black worm...and when there is a sandbar or drop off crankbait the heck out of it,..
During that 1 hour lunar feeding time I have a 3/8 ounce White Rooster Tail ready...when fish are schooling that lure is a 95% guarantee. ...that is how I fish the heat..

If it was a pond...like you discribe..I'd show up with 2 rods...1 hour before daylight and I'd bump a black Trick worm rigged texas with 1/8 ounce OR 3/16 split shot and carry the Rooster Tail for bass breaking the surface.

Some type of floating plastic frog like a scum frog works great.

I second it on the frogs...forgot about them. I'd choose a zoom Horney Toad though...weedless.

Try a Senko either Texas or wacky rigged pulled across the top of the grass. Or a shaky head with a Zoom trick worm. They both work for me.
