FYI-The grass you see on Choke is either Hydrilla or American Elodea.
They look very simular and can easily be mistaken for one another. All of them have leaves in whorls around the stem. However, American waterweed has three leaves per whorl, whereas hydrilla almost always have more than three leaves per whorl.
Also, Hydrilla has tubers and Elodea does not. Tubers are little white root balls kind of like a bulb.

Both will survive our mild winter but will go more dormant in temps lower that about 65^. When you start seeing the browning of the leaves you will notice the plants retreating for winter.
Both plants will grow in water from a few inches to over 20+ feet.
Hydrilla is a bad plant because when hydrilla becomes over abundant, fish population imbalances are likely. The dense mats of hydrilla will alter the waters chemistry by raising pH, cause wide oxygen fluctuations, and increase water temperature.

Just some info you might have never realized...

Oh and yes I have a report as well... lol

I hit the lake after moving to my new office over the weekend. I had the fever and wanted to fish. I went Sunday afternoon and did very well started around 1pm and left around 8pm. Caught about 20 bass biggest being 6 pounds.

Bass are starting their fall runs and hitting shad and perch around the grass edges in 10 feet of water. Find deeper water close and you got a pattern that will most likely work. Cranks, and soft plastic seem to be the baits of choice.

Good luck!
