Going to Amistad next week and i hear the hydrilla is growing. Having never fished it before, I need to know how you guys do it. Weighted worm right through it? Try and flip under it? Fish the edge of it? Im new to bass fishing, so i need a few pointers. Thanks.

All of the above + through a frog on top of it

Stay out that stuff. Ain't no fish in there.

Fish the edges,little points,little pockets,isolated clumps,on top of it, then fish the rest of it.

The main thing you need to do is HAVE FUN!

frogs, buzzbaits, wacky worms, weightless sticks or texas rigs with a very light weight. those would be my choices, throw all around and into the grass until...boom.

p.s. I like the poppin' frog around the grass best.

That's right...nothing but pigs, hawgs, toads, and green giants up in there...don't waste ur time..

I have never fished Hydrilla, but I would imagine that you would need a small rubber band to tie it to the hook. It would probably be better to try to fish a bait in the hydrilla. Might work a little better.

weightless fluke n watermelon red

plunk it
craw type bait weight big enough to make it thru the mat on top

I wouldnt throw a weighted worm on top of it, you will pull out and pull off 20 plus pounds of hydrilla off a 1 pound fish. Fish off the sides and in the pockets, and be ready to bulldog em up as soon as the hook is set. If the hydrilla is a little under the water,..I would try a slow topwater, ie torpedo, zara spook, floatin frog, and if it seems like fish are really active, then use a faster topwater, buzz bait etc. But rule #1, dont let the bass dive down into the hydrilla.
Best of luck!!!

yeah the grass is growing fast up in castle canyon if u get there early enough u might see the fire fighting plane its huge

We did well throwing a square bill over the top of it. Also, a t-rig will cut through it ok if you use a small enough weight. I was throwing a 1/4 oz and was doing just fine.

punch that grass if its sunny...might be some green junk fish under there

if its cloudy i'd throw a frog all day long

I'd also have a spook tied on.
