Peppergrass Tips

Peppergrass is similar to hydrilla in that your lures will get wrapped. My favorite all time lure for peppergrass is the spinnerbait in chartreuse and white (willow gold/Colorado silver). Use a good trailer to bulk up the bait.This is a deadly method for Florida bass.

I start by casting to the outside of the peppergrass line and work it right inot the peppergrass. You can also throw the spinnerbait into pockets and use a steady retrieve. Most of the hits will come as you 1st enter the peppergrass line with the spinnerbait or as you work it over a pocket.

Another method I have been successful with is flippin or pitching the stalks with a worm. I don't use a heavy weight, usually just a 1/4 ounce. Work the worm into pockets and in the heavier stalks. See my technique on flippin to get a better understanding of what the bite will feel like.
