Anyone trying to drag a drop shot over the green goop? Kind of a hassle, but it does sometimes work.

Are you finding any fish in the green moss? If i get the slime bait back a few times....I move. I am not sure they like hanging around that stuff either. Going tomorrow. Maybe I will ry to fish the moss a bit to see.

I've done it when there has been really bad moss and caught fish doing it. Not my prefered method but when everything else that touched bottom was instantly coated in green slime it's an option. Fished just like I would with a split shot rig. Little harder to get to hook set. Just had to wind on the fish and not swing. I would much rather fish an area where I can scrub a grub or crank a wiggle wart and make some bottom contact without the slime.

Anyone have success with a grub fished over the moss? I prefer scrubbing them if I can, but haven't tried swimming them in areas other than trees or bluffs. Maybe we can get some divers to go out and clean the bottom for us.

Is this moss everywhere in the lake? Heading down to Little Aunts Creek in a few weeks.

No. It is by some of the docks that are usually good around Aunt's Creek. It is usually not near the points or secondary points around there.

Can usually catch some brown fish with it around (later in April/May), mostly on shakey heads, grubs. Rigs are a pain, the drop shot thing is a pain to throw and fish but does address the goop. I seem to break fish off on it when I am not fishing it vertically.

I don't think bait or craws leave b/c of the slime, some of my long time "better" banks have it and still seem to hold fish. Quite a bit of it around some of the deeper brush and wood I have found the last couple of years. Zero opportunity for cranks and such though.

Arsenal...if in Aunts just follow the little Skeeter and you should find some nice snot free places.
