Fished about 2hrs this afternoon till the storm ran me off the water. Despite the lake being very crowded everyone was courteous and laid back. The bites I got came midlake pushing way back in the backs of the little coves and pockets. I mean as far back as you can cast. Bites came on a Reaction Innovations Trixie Shark in pearl blue, hollow body frogs in natural frog pattern and on a homemade sexy shad swim jig with a small sexy shad swimbait on it. Saw a few small bed fish that were keeper sized but I did not fool with them. You really need the potato grass to get the frog bite. Make multiple casts and fish the frogs a bit slower than you normally would. They are there and just a bit leery from all the pressure. I cannot stress enough getting way back in these areas and fishing water that others are passing up. Don't just make the easy casts either. Get a bait in the hard to reach spots and it will pay off.
Have fun this weekend and be safe.

You rarely see it deeper than 2-3'. It does not mat over. Its a sort of pickerel weed but without the blooms.

This is too funny. I just finished researching all the vegetation on Fork according to TP&WD and potato grass was not mentioned.  Thanks for the report. Gonna hit it up Saturday morning me thinks.

The potato grass is usually next to snot grass which is usually next to alligator weed....
