What happened to the trashy comment?



I guess it was too harsh.


Better having it deleted than getting banned.

Gentlemen, I'll google a pic of this "aquarium grass".


Give me 5.

Bought two dozen and caught 2.


They freakin hide in that weed.


I let the rest go so my bass will grow.

They have enough 1 thru 4th gen bluegill to eat.


When I catch my bass, it's catch and release.

The water is muddy and everything tastes muddy from the pond. Still fun to catch them, you know.

Yep.

I always called it aquarium grass because when you bought a fish, they would through in some of the grass.

When it got too thick, just pull half of it out.

It grows like weeds.

Yes sir.

It's about 5 feet deep and has 1 to 2 feet of clarity.

Sounds like you could use a grass carp or two

That's duckweed, no.

None of that in my pond.

It has the parrot grass, wild hyacinth and water lillies I planted at all four corners.


I'll get a pick for y'all later.


Thanks for the advice everybody.

Yeah I meant to type weed instead of grass in my original post. I haven't found a weight heavy enough to punch down through this stuff.

I find the white colored soft plastics only work in the peak of spring around March or early April. I always feel more comfortable throwing something green like watermelon red.

Very good point.

They hit in a kernel of corn or anything colorful, right?


HHhhmmmmm.

Now I need to find a pond without much grass. Probably means the carp did their job and they're hungry.

Great idea.

I don't have any top water lures.

Buy a couple crank baits that are designed to only run 1-2' deep.
