Punching through giant salvinia....is it worth it?  I fish Lake Bistineau in NW Louisiana and if you've fished it you know Louisiana is fighting giant salvinia there and other lakes in the area.  It's discouraging to come around a bend in the channel and see your favorite fishing hole completely covered in salvinia.  Is it worth trying to punch through it and get below it?  Would I be wasting my time?

 

Any thoughts are appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Gaint Salvinia is a surface vegetation & is easily punched but you better off staying as near vertical as possible.

Yes, I've caught many fish punching sylvania. Bistineau is a beautiful lake with some good fish! Look for sylvania around trees close to channel swings and hold on!
