Default Locating Bass in grass

Hey folks,

There's a lake you've all heard Randy mention called the 'Big Lake'. A nice
lake with 5 seperate sections and many contour changes, stunk fields,
laydowns, etc. A well rounded fishing experience.

There is a cove on the lake that has always been thick with Hydrilla grass
and has some submerged brush, sticks grass clumps. You get the idea. This
area has always been a speedworm, horney toad area but this season, we have
a whole new ballgame.

It seems almost 2/3 of the lake is getting choked out by the grass (and it's
spreading like wildfire). The flats, drop-offs, stump fields, along rip-rap,
etc. I have even witnessed the grass in clumps in the open water deeper
areas.

What would be the best way to locate bass in this situation? Should I fish
it as I would without grass and work the structure and depth changes
accordingly, or will the grass make the bass behave differently?
