All of the grass can be intimidating, especially to new anglers. As most may know grass can only grow just so deep. This means that it must stop growing at certain depths. This creates edges. Remember most edges are unseen. There is the first key to dealing with all this grass. We must first find an edge to fish and then try to break down from there. It could be a creek channel or a point or the main lake. I like to look at farming fields as an example of this. The fields are the open water while the groups of trees are the grass. The farmer left the trees there for the same reason grass would grow there. Might be because it was to close to a creak, on a hill, was next to a road, etc. So next time you are looking into a farming field think of it this way. If you took all of the water out of the lake and left the grass it would look the same. Now we are getting somewhere. Starting with the points of tress, (grass) we see that the trees stop at the point of the hill but also the trees leave an edge on both sides. The trees on the points are the obvious edges but all along the hill we see rocks, stumps and other things making those edges unique. Plus the short tress and bushes are the grass that goes unseen. Now we look at the trees (grass) along the farmer's creek. We first see the creek has bends making it so the trees must fallow the curves. Again we see rock and wood cover. We also see places where there are less tress or more tress, this too can be a great find. Bass will be in this grass because of the creek. But in a certain place because of the bends, rocks or a change in the thickness of the grass. You can take any grass bed and break it down into sections of greater likelihood. When fishing a grass edge think out loud, "why would a bass be here?" If it takes you long to find a reason to pick this edge out of the thousands, you're in the wrong place. Most importantly is the reason, once located, will be the same reason on your next stop.
