here on the eastern side of the mississippi we are fishing deaper waters now for bass.
but I agree, duing the summer months them bass get right up in to places that would be hook tossers nightmare,
there is a solution, weedless hooks.
You can use them on single hooked soft plastic harnesses and even replace the trebbles on your crank baits and plugs.
now they are not a guarntee that you wont snag, but it will deffenantly reduse the amount of snags you get,
I have used them and tossed them right in to the middle of lilly pads, Kinda dumb cuz if I were to hook on to a big bass in the middle of the pads I would break the line for sure, that would have been an over cast or a gust of wind in the middle of a cast that would send my lure to the middle,
But your right you want to cast right up in there to target those sneeky bass who are waiting in lieu of something swimming by...
