Matted Grass
Found largemouth in 0-3ft around matted coontail and duckweed. Caught them on both a frog and a swim jig. Four things needed to be present in order to concentrate fish in certain areas. 1. Some sort of current flow. Didn't have to be a lot of current, but a little bit was good. 2. Clean sand bottom near the grass. It created a good edge and ambush points for the fish. 3. Bait - bluegill, perch, shad, minnows. 4. Clearer water. A bunch of rain had dumped mud into the main channel. Finding clean water generally meant you'd find the bait and the bass.
