Whats your most popular aquatic plant to fish.Mine is the algae,lily pads,coon-tail,and bulrushes.Some of the other aquatic vegetation did not make the pole, no room.SORRY

    There's nothing like throwing a frog on lily pads!!!!!!

I'd have to go with lily pads also. That's what I mostly fish around here.

Lily pads all day every day and even at night, LOL!!!!!

Frogged, flipped, pitched cast or any other way i can get in there!

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.

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

Lily pads and grass beds are a tie for me.

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

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.

where is the hydrilla?

I was waiting for somebody to ask this.   ;D

Hydrilla Verticillata & Buck Brush ;)

i love ripping the hydrilla with a trap,,,not usually the best in the summer,,,but when it's working, you stay busy all day

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!

I've got to go with buck brush, cypress, and new laydowns...ok so its not really vegitation in the sense that yall are talking about but its what I have and what I have is awesome  :)

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.

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).
