so i live in north east florida and for the last few years the public pond bass bite has been absolutely terrible. im talking youre lucky if u catch 1 bass an hour on a 4 inch wacky rigged senko. but when i fish a private pond the bite is great. sure you can say maybe its because of the fishing pressure or maybe the techniques i use but trust me ive tried everything.

i remember the days when i could pull up to the local pond and catch 15 bass a day. ive noticed all the public ponds i fish get sprayed so they can look pretty for the karens. bass need the cover to thrive and its super sad to see. im trying to get my saltwater loving friends into bass fishing but its very difficult when i cant show them anything. idk. what do yall think?

Two things. 1) Yep if the grass gets killed off, it will affect the bass population....2) you state it’s a public pond. That fact in itself will affect the population.

Without a doubt it will affect the Bass population. Some it will kill right out, I've seen it happen, those that live will find a severely depleted place for fry and fingerling bass to hide from predators. It is "poison" so it don't just affect the grass.

Why don’t you go saltwater fishing with them rather? Salt leaves it more of a mystery what you will hook on each drop.

Then the poison is in the fish you eat
