re: Lafayette Area Fishing (Public Launches, Bayous, and Lakes)

I got a question for you guys, but let me preface with this:

When people are asked about the fishing in Lake Martin, most people's first response is that the grass is too horrible to fish. Now I've fished a few times this year in the Lacassine Pool and in The Burns. Caught plenty of bass at both places. Both places are loaded with grass, but you never hear anyone saying "the grass is too bad in The Pool" or "the grass is too bad in The Burns". I've fished Lake Martin once this year. It was my one and only time going. We did not catch anything, but the grass wasn't the cause of that IMO. I know the fishing in Lake Martin isn't comparable to neither The Pool nor The Burns, but we were able to fish with less "problems" relating to the grass in Lake Martin than we were in The Pool.

So here is my question:

Why does Lake Martin get such a bad wrap for its grass, when similar grass in other places provide for great bass fishing locations?
