Fishing the Weedline
In the warmer months, fish such as Walleyes, Bass, Pike, and Crappies hangout near their food source. In this case, their food source thrives along the weedline. Predatory fish on, over, or near the weedline will strike just about any bait you put in front of them.

Shallow running crankbaits, topwater lures, and spinnerbaits are all good options to catch fish along the weedline. You could even try flipping a jig with a soft bait trailer on it. Try using a medium to medium-heavy action rod then simply take that jig and flip it into the deep side of the weeds. The depth of water could range anywhere between 7’’ to 15’’ deep. An 8oz. jig head with a watermelon colored soft bait should do the trick. Bass gravitate toward watermelon colors in most waters. At the end of the day, a jig tipped with a watermelon colored soft bait casted near or around the weedline should produce the results you’re looking for.
