To consistently catch fish you have to put your lure where the fish are. To do that, you have to find the type of cover where fish may be lurking wherever you are fishing. Largemouth bass hide in or around a lot of different places including rock piles, dead trees, boat docks, grass, lily pads, and a whole lot more. Bass love to hang around cover because it helps conceal them so they can easily ambush their prey. Bays covered in Lilly pads are spots where bass are likely to be found.

Because bass are predators, it’s important to give them what they want. For example, lakes with weeds and lily pads that provide excellent cover for fish of many species to hide and ambush prey. A topwater weedless frog worked through the grass or lily pads presents a lure that imitates the type of forage on which bass are likely to be feeding.
