rowyourboat reply :
what do you guys like to throw?
florida strain reply :
topwater, and pitch t- rigged creatures. is what i like to do.
Red reply :
T-rigged Rage Craw has been the ticket for me this year.
Chaz Hickcox reply :
Spinners in the knees. Got me third a few weeks ago. Basically pitching the spinner almost to the shore and bring it between the cypress knees. They usually nail it right before it goes through the saddle of the knees.
Jacob Robinson reply :
Depends on the conditions. I normally start with a jig and spinnerbait.
Bass XL reply :
Jig, spinnerbait, or a weightless trick worm.
Hammer 4 reply :
Spinnerbait would be my first choice..Everytime I fish a lake with timber..that's what I throw, and it seems to work the majority of the time..

owl reply :
t-rigged Black Yum craw or Culprit craw colored worm.
Chatter baits,tubes,frogs. Depends on depth and time of day.
retiredbosn reply :
Bomber Fat Free Fingerling, Wiggle Wart, Bomber Model 4 A's, love crankin the timber. Then pitch plastics, either jig and trailer, creature, etc.
bassman31783 reply :
Honestly, anything. Square bill cranks, spinnerbaits, swimbaits, jigs, topwaters, etc...
Fishes in trees reply :
Timber Tigers - DC16 or DC8 mostly
spotaholic reply :
How deep is the timber ? Are they lay downs on the bank or tree tops. When fishing deep trees I like to throw a t rig or spot remover let it go down to where fish are suspending and swim it back. A big bladed spinnerbait is also awesome on fish that relate to deep timber. Shallow timber I throw a Buckeye spotremover with a finesse worm, Buckeye mop jig with super chunk, t rig baby brush hog , speed craw or ultra vibe speed worm.I also like on certain lakes to throw a swimming jig in a pattern that looks like a bream. A weightless trick worm or senko is hard to beat at times when fish are around shoreline cover. There are a million different ways to fish trees just keep trying to you find out works on your lake.

iceintheveins reply :
I will fish it with weightless plastics in more sparse timber, or pegged plastics or a jig if it's heavier. Spinnerbaits are a good option but bouncing cranks off the wood can be even better. In the evenings and mornings, poppers, buzzbaits, and other topwaters can be killer.
Sam reply :
1. Plastics
2. Spinnerbait
3. Crankbait
4. Jig and Pig
5. Chatterbait
Depends on the wood set-up. meaning a tree in the water or a lot of wood converged together.
Pitching and flipping to wood is what I do mostly but also throw other baits in front and running down side of wood in water.
SausageFingers23 reply :
I'll throw a jig or t-rigged bait if the timber is pretty thick. If it is a bit more dispersed I like to use a spinnerbait or shallow running, square billed crank.
backwater4 reply :
1/4 football jig or a spinnerbait.
J Francho reply :
My favorite would be an Arkey style jig, and big trailer, like a Zoom Super Chunk. Some days, like yesterday for me, its not what the fish wanted. banging a crankbait or spinnerbait provided. I would hit a laydown with a jig, for nothing for ten minutes. One cast with a moving bait, and fish on. On other days, it might be something else.
Bankbeater reply :
Jig or a t-rigged plastic.
ChazfromVA reply :
Jig, Senko, Crankbait , and a Rico if the conditions are right...
Dock Master reply :
If its a laydown, its hard to beat a buzzbait buzzed overtop of the laydown or beside it.
Now if its standing timber thats in 15 ft of water or so I would probably try and find a creek channel or some other cover or structure besides the standing timber and it that with a jig, shakey head or even a drop-shot.
mmarkinma61 reply :
jigs 100 % of the time
DeanFishesNY reply :
Most of the time I'll throw a jig, sometimes when it's a bit thicker I'll throw t rigged beavers, brush hogs, etc. which I feel gets thru that stuff better. I never really threw moving baits into cover, I need to start doing that
River Rat316 reply :
Spinnerbait, jig (either arky or alien head) and a Bomber Square A. We don't have deep standing timber here though, deepest I can think of is about 4-5' on a couple lakes (all natural lakes for the most part)
bmadd reply :
I like to start with cranks first. I like to bang the crank on the outside first. If they don't come out to see who's there then I'll just throw in. Either finesse it through the wood or bump and pause it through depending on their mood.
If that fails, I try a jig.
Hammer 4 reply :
I've had really good luck smackin tree stumps with a spinnerbait..one time, a bass came out of the water and inhaled my spinnerbait before it hit the water..
Was pretty neat to see that.

Weird when they do stuff unexpected like that. My partner had his spinner get caught up on a stump and when we went to get it I had a spinner in the water, maybe 2 in deep, and nice LMB came and tried to take my rod from me. This was within inches of the cypress tree he was holding on.
ClarkGriswald reply :
Just about anything I would throw anywhere else on the lake. I really like bouncing crankbaits off of timber and pitching a jig to it the most though.
