Esko's are another version of crankbait that works well in that situation.
Was out fishing last night and I was marking a ton of fish that were in the weeds. I was casting along the weed line and catching some fish. However, I’m curious about how to target the fish that are in the middle of the weeds and aren’t set up along the weed lines. The weeds were 3 feet off the bottom and the total water depth was somewhere around 5 feet. Would casting a lipless bait over the top be enough to lure them out? Or, would casting a crankbait that dives shallow be the ticket?
Curious how you mark fish in the weeds...I've never been very good at identifying that. What kind of sonar?

Spinnerbait walleyes. It really works!!! Take a smaller colorado or indiana bladed spinnerbait, cut the skirt off, and replace with a 4.5 inch paddle tail of your choice. Run that sucker over and through the tops of the weeds and get ready. The eyes just about yank the rod out of your hands. I've done it several times in the exact situation you are describing. Good Luck and you're welcome.
I absolutely "LOATHE" flicker shads but will give a passing grade to the shallow runners simply due to there price tag & the fact they work.
