I fish this one lake by my house a lot. It has tons of milfoil which I know is good for bass to seek cover in, and to feed out of.
In a smaller pond though, would having to much milfoil be bad, or "a okay?"

I would like to have milfoil or at least a couple lilly pads in the shallows, but I know that lilly pads can get out of control pretty quick.
In ya'lls (I was born and raised in N.E. texas) expierences, is it just better to make the underwater cover and not let plants grow in the pond, or definitely have some, just watch growth?
