Due to the cooler temperatures, largemouth bass often seek warmth - ex. grass mats. Today was a classic example of such. Over the past week or so, air and water temperatures have plummeted, and the bass have stacked up in hyacinth/hydrilla mix grass mats. The lure of choice is a frog, with my personal favorite being the River2Sea Phat Mat frog (white or black). The retrieve was very aggressive due to the bass being active in the "Fall Fenzy" (the time of the year when bass "fatten up"). Strikes were extremely aggressive, visible, and almost always resulted in a positive hookset. One important note - these grass mats are canopies, and have no grass, lily pads, etc under them. It is barren, and the bass utilized this as cover.

Fish are in there summer time areas. I found fish on ledges from 12’ to 20’. Drag around a shakey head. I don’t think color matters but if they are there they will eat it. Fishing got tough in the middle part of the day and I threw a drop shot in the same areas and it put a few more in the boat.

Graph the ledges to find the bait. Find the bait find the fish.. They will bunch up and bite almost anything your throw at them. The best luck I was having was a shakey head with a zoom trick worm on it.

Hit the backs with a frog, preferably something a little light, and yet you can work slow with mich movement. Light pops on retrieval and walking the dog are great ways.
