One of my favorite summer fishing patterns revolves around bass when they are located in weedy cover on the edges of large flats. Often, I fish a “big jig,” which is a heavy skirted bass jig in the ½- to ¾-ounce size range and tipped with a big plastic trailer like a Rage Craw. I will cruise the edge of a chosen flat, making pitches ahead of the boat and to the weed edges, to what is often referred to as the "deep weedline."
