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?

I HATE to hear the phrase choked used with regards to aquatic
vegetation. Talk like that too often eventually leads to weed control
efforts that NEVER help the fishing.

Anyway that's why there's such a thing as a Texas rig, son. Get you a
flippin' stick, some nice, thin braid or Fireline, ad bunch of pretty
heavy slip sinkers and as many green pumpkin creature baits as your boat
will float, and go fishin'.
