A little bit is good, even a few "islands" of it around the pond gives them edges and cover to hunt from. Too much makes the fishing hard.

The only way to successfully fish it is to horse the bass out or bring the boat into the weeds and hoist them out. It is exciting tho to see them bash the lures tho...
