Greg:

Thanks for the reply! Ok I will spray. What spray equipment would be best to rent to get the job done as efficiently as possible? As you can see from the photos this stuff is thick in 100 yard by 10 yard stretches in about 5 locations around the lake. I have barge I can use that I can put a generator on if needed and pull it around the smart weed mats while one guy sprays and another acts as the tug boat. Or is a hand sprayer all I need? I have access to this type of equipment through nursery friends of mine. I can also tell them the chemicals I need and then do the mixing. Can you be more specific say on a per water gallon basis as to which chemicals I need and ratio per gallon of water to mix?

Touch Down you say..how do you figure how much per gallon? And then 1% of 2,4-D liquid..brand? and a good sufactant..what is that??

I should spray the plants now and then again in early summer? Will the rest of the submerge stalk then dies and sink to the bottom and decompose? These chemicals will not kill any bass fry or bluegill fry will it?

Thanks again Greg! Cabo fishing for you on my boat one of these days amigo whenever you can get out West to thank you for all the help you give me. What is the relative weight on a 104" fork length by 500 lb. blue marlin? lol.
