    Default Floating eel grass ??


    Tried to troll a small Lake yesterday, but with all the floating eel grass, made it impossible. Being a Floridian for only 3+ years, this was my first experience with this.

    What is the cause for the die off? Is this a common occurrence for this time of year?

    Thanks for your help.

    Regards,
    Marv

    Got any duck hunters or mud motor boats around? Sometimes they get close to the bank & chew up the grass & then it ends up floating everywhere
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"

    I didn't see any, but that doesn't mean they weren't there the day before, thanks.

    I always wondered if some feeding fish didn't knock some loose while feeding in the roots. Funny that when I'm having to watch for weeds fouling my baits that I'm catching more fish.

    We gave it a good try, but when 3 out of my 4 rods were haulin weeds, it was time to leave.

    Yes, but I'd rather be taking fish off the line!

    Happens on Seminole every fall/winter with some cool weather and heavy winds to get the current flowing. Know I'm much farther North, so could be different for you guys on the other end of the state...
    Thanks pescador thanked you for this post
