Here it is. The perfect back bay hidden behind an island in July. Bottom is soft and filled with hydrilla. Lily pads are present with the odd stump here and there. The weather is stable, the sun is out and it is about 11am. How would you approach and fish this scenario?

I would cast a 6" white worm TEXAS RIGGED into the mess and reel it back slowly(inticingly) tolure those HOGS out and WHAMMO.

This is the best game ever!
I would first hit it with a small white/bone color pop-r in all the open areas... working fairly slowly, big pauses.
Then go to a weedless soft-plastic, flipp'n it into the thicker pads and slop...

I'd slowly introduce chopped boilies or bread balls over a few days or weeks. Get those carp feeding and coming back. Then I'd realize I only own bass gear and don't even fish for carp and start zinging it hard with toads and following up by plunking with t-rigged plastics or flipping jigs.

Sunny day in July..... 11am?...... Turn the boat around and head for an off-shore weed bed.

I'd set up inside of 30 feet of that bad boy!
To the other pic.....other than a few long bomb frog casts....I'd rarely fish that water.....

I'd toss either a Spro Bronzeye or a Rivers2Sea Bull Croker. If I had any intrest I'd follow up with a TitleSHot jig and a beaver style bait. For some reason, this area doesn't appeal to me, don't know why. I'd still have to fish it to eliminate it.
I actually like hookup's area better....with or without the magically suspending shack
Again I'd toss a frog. But with the deeper open water under the pads......I'm thinking big wacky rigged senko style bait. Big sucker....6-7in. long. After that I switch to a flipping jig & chunk.
