I tried fishing this evening with my family and it turned into a weed catching event. For every good cast there were two bad..COONTAIL, I hate this plant, I have tried Grass carp about two years ago, have not seen any sign of them existing in my three ac pond. I released two dozen 10 to 12" in early June of 03 (Bass bait?).. I gave Mother Nature here shot, now its time for better living thru chemistry. I plan on using Cutrine Plus on my enemy, if you all know of a better, cheaper, safer way please let me know, coontail is about the only problem weed I ever seem to have in my pond,I plan to treat 1/3 of the area at a time and then return after 2 weeks for the next segment(is this long enough?)Thanks for your help.
