I'm not a bass fisherman so I need a few tips. I found a small dam that's holding some big largemouth. Deepest part of the dam is about 15' at the spillway. The weeds are crazy thick and almost reach the surface in about 80% of the dam. One half of the shore is woods and the other is catails. The catail side is only like 6" deep though. One very small area has a few old trees sticking up out of the water and that's where I've been focusing but I've only caught 2 and they're far from the biggest the water has to offer. What should I be throwing and where? Thanks in advance.

If it’s that weedy, I’d start with a Texas-rigged worm, or other soft plastics such as salamanders or crayfish. Try a variety of colors and patterns. You might need to use a fairly heavy sinker to punch through the weeds. In the deeper areas, you might want to try a jig with a weedguard.
