Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction Greetings from an engineering student with a goal!

We fished in a pond in southern Texas that got choked with water hyacinths. As floating plants they were relatively easy to gather & dispose of on shore. Three friends and I spent most of a day collecting them and cleared a pretty good area.

After we finished, the bass went crazy eating the stuff that had sheltered in the weeds. When we came back two weeks later, you'd never know we did a thing, hyacinths covered entire cleared area.
