Eelgrass on Nickajack

[RiverCanyonBass]

Looking for tips or advice on working lures or soft plastics in the abundance of loose floating eelgrass on Nickajack. Just about every cast this year, I reel in a strand or two. It’s like everywhere I fish, it’s like a string trimmer has cut a ton of monkey grass and thrown it in the lake. Especially affects top water presentations. Have not noticed near this amount in past years. Thanks in advance.

It will only get worse. I don't think there is a good solution for fishing it

Fish edges of it just like a ledge is best, or where it and hydrila meet .

Been dealing with it on Guntersville for years and its spreading big time. Fish love it

Swimbait works well, anything weedless. emoBigsmile

I agree, its horrible this year, forget top water and crankbaits, all the floating grass fowls you line or hooks.
