How many of you fish matted duckweed or other types of emergent weeds, commonly referred to as SLOP?
Being a shore fisherman, it’s one area a lot of guys seem to shy away from…not sure why, but there’s nothing quite like a big bas blasting a hole in the slop to get at your bait.
I know I can’t pass by a good weed bed with out tossing a frog,beaver, or brushhog. Some trips I’ll sit in the middle of a Lilypad bed and catch them for an hour. Great fun that top water action.
Fishing the “slop” is a ton of fun. My little cousin just caught his very first bass fishing like that. I especially like it when there is an isolated chunk of “slop,” I call them bass hotels because they seem to hold quite a few fish.
