Favorite Cover/structure To Fish? 2024
MIbassin reply :
What is your favorite cover or structure to fish?
Around here, i have some lakes with giant moss beds mixed with sand bars. The moss sits right on the bottom and only grows a couple of inches. MONSTER bass roam these moss beds and sandbars in the low light hours! I also love to fish the pads.
What about you?
Brian Needham reply :
the ones they're on!!!!!
but mostly ledges with massive shellbeds
Jar11591 reply :
My favorite structure to fish is overhanging limbs and/or downed trees. Can't pass a log or branch without tossing to it a couple times.
Dwight Hottle reply :
Rock reefs.
Catch and Grease reply :
Around here its fun fishing around Cyprus trees and the cyprus knee systems under the water surrounding the trees
long island basser reply :
Here on Long Island with our shallow lakes there's not much structure but plenty of cover.
My two favs are laydowns and lily pads.
Raul reply :
I like wood and rocks.
Big Fish Rice reply :
For cover, flipping/pitching lily pads. For structure, I love fishing jigs around rocks. Big fish baits!
OntarioFishingGuy reply :
Docks with a fluke and rocks with a football jig
BigmouthForever23 reply :
Points + dropoffs (weeds below surface a bonus).
Sam reply :
Wood in the water.
Bruce424 reply :
Lilies. Stumps!! Tullies. And laydowns all I can fish my favorite baits jigs spinnerbaits and squarebills
RoLo reply :
That would depend, firstly on the species sought, secondly on the waterbody in question, and thirdly on the current season.
On balance, I've found that a good rule-of-thumb is what I've dubbed the 'priority of poverty'.
That is to say, if you're on a canyon reservoir, the value of shelf areas goes through the roof.
If you're in a featureless saucer-shaped natural lake, the value of deep water and drop-offs are at a premium.
The fact that there is no structural holy grail only adds to the challenge

Mccallister25 reply :
The few neighborhood ponds I fish dont have a lot of visable structure/cover, so Id have to say maybe rocks for me, and the occasional tree in the water when Im lucky enough to have one in pitching distance.

Shallow brush
papajoe222 reply :
Rocky hump or submerged island or the same structure with grass. If there aren't any, give me a rip-rap shoreline.
Paul s reply :
Pads and grass/the thickest crap I can find, submerged timber, rocky bottoms.
WRB reply :
Whatever the big girls are on or in.

Rocks are my security blanket, I feel safe when I'm fishing rocks 
I love fishing smaller docks too, but hate trying to fish the large, commercial docks, unless that's where the fish are 
Balshy Fishing reply :
See, I never think about throwing under these docks when I go to the lakes and what not. Guess that's what happens when ya bank fish all the time; I forget to check things RIGHT along the side.
TrippyJai reply :
Shallow water grass is my favourite. I also enjoy rocks.
boostr reply :
I have had success recently with laydowns and stumps.
nascar2428 reply :
Give me some grass please.
slimshad reply :
I like huge flats with no visible cover. Guntersville in Febuary! Digging a lipless or square bill crankbait. Fun fun....
jigabooyah reply :
Any where the fish are. Although Lilly Pads provide a challenge
