Quitlimpin reply :

Flipping cat tails is my absolute favorite

Bassin_Fin@tic reply :

Whatever the proper name for kissimmee grass is that is my favorite. Lily pads any day too.There are so many lure/presentation options available for pads and you can almost always find fish there under a wide array of conditions.

I hate milfoil to death unless it is early spring up north and the spinnerbaits are flying.

donbeatya reply :

Tules as they're called where im from in southern CA. Bass there just love them tule's. Senkos around the edges catch big bass all day

tnbassfisher reply :

Lily pads and grass beds are a tie for me.

Sitting in a huge field of lilly pads throwin a frog is a blast.

etommy28 reply :

Lynx reply :

Lily Pads a great cover for "hawgs," when your using a frog, but I always seem to find the "BIG KAHUNA," in, around, or near Cattails.

Jealous of those with vegetation! Only docks here.....very little vegetation.

I have to go to Gaston to find hydrilla and mil foil and every time I am there I see the little boat spraying trying to kill it!

CWB reply :

I voted Lily Pads 'cause I love Froggin' but Cabbage and Milfoil are close second. Cabbage holds some lunkers and some big toothy critters up here.

Matt Fly reply :

hydrilla

zbigbadaaron reply :

lilypads

J Francho reply :

Wherever the fishies are at.

RoLo reply :

I'm not sure that it's possible to answer this question, because every lake is a unique ecosystem,

and no aquatic plant is best in every lake. The consensus is "lily pads", which seems a bit contradictory to me.

"Bank-beating" has taken a drubbing in this forum, yet lily pads are an emergent plant rarely found deeper than 4 feet.

I know of a couple lakes in central Florida that have both waterlily pads and spatterdock pads.

Oddly, the waterlilies rarely give up many bass, where both plants appear (the difference I believe is their maximum depth).

Two key plants that do not appear on the list are Hydrilla and Spatterdock.

If I could put weeds in a given lake, I'd probably start with hydrilla, a submergent plant that grows to 18 ft deep.

Then I'd like to find pondweed (cabbage), eelgrass (tapegrass), spatterdock (cow lily),

maidencane (Kissimmee grass) and bulrushes (buggy whips).
