I would LOVE for the Coosa lakes to have grass mats like Guntersville. I know Lay has "some" grass, but it's still not the same. I would also love for Wedowee to have smallmouth, while I'm asking for ridiculous stuff...

Jordan has a pile of coontail on it. So does Yates. While it's not milfoil or hydrilla, it still serves the same function. Lay had a bunch of it in places.

I need to know where that grass is that has the slough cut off?????   First slough on left past Tommy's, center slough. Massive tan house on right point. Breaks my heart to see the slough like that. That is where I grew up. Man, if I'm not mistaken, that slough is deep too! It's shallower in the mouth, but the center/back of that thing has close to 20' depth.

No, I should have said going up river. LOL. All three fingers of that slough have filled in 2 feet since the water dos not go down in winter anymore.

Last year the whole back of Tommy's nearly matted over. There were a few small mats, but mostly the grass (appeared to be milfoil) just topped out and clumped. I caught a lot of small fish in there one afternoon.

There will be areas of Neely that become inaccessible by boat over the next several years. It silts in bad there.

Because APCO does not do a winter draw down to let the creeks, sloughs and fingers clean out of silt. If I were some of these people that lives in these $500K houses in a slough overrun with these grass matts I would be coming unglued and raising hell with APCO and the Neely Henry Lake Association. They are the biggest reason the water is up during the winter now. Said it would increase the recreational value of their property. Well, it did for a while but if you cannot get to it because of the grass, how's the value now??????????????

We fished Sunday morning from daylight to 11:30. Put in at Canoe. Started in the grass and could not get a topwater bite but picked up some spots and 2.5 LM on the edge of the grass with shakey heads. No swim jig bite either. Moved a couple of places just killing time until water turned on at 8. thought the bite would pick up for us but it didn't. I let a good one get off from a shakey head under a pier and got a couple more small fish on isolated cover from shakey heads and that was it.

Caught my personal best for Neely last Sunday 6.99 lbs. Health and no red sores.
Wow, that is a good fish especially this time of year. Congrats!

Anybody been on Neely this week? ANY grass bite whatsoever? Everybody I've talked to for 3+ weeks has said they literally has zero bites in the grass, anywhere, at all, period, don't waste your time. We have a tournament there tomorrow (out of Gadsden) and I've convinced myself to avoid the grass, but everything within me feels like that's the most likely way to get a big largemouth or two.

Well the truth is my partner and I elected to skip it, and apparently it was a good choice. We had 21 boats show up (out of 40) and according to the results only 7 boats even had a 5-fish limit. 15.1 won it, and 2nd and 3rd were 11-something and 10-something. We have two guys who fish BFLs and a few teams who fish the ABTs, and I heard three different guys say that was the single worst bass boat traffic day they'd ever fished in their lives. I was told the parking lot at Coosa Landing (I still call it City Docks) was completely full. We got permission to put in behind Gadsden State College. There was apparently a sizeable tournament out of Canoe Creek also. The guys who our tournament also won this same tournament last year, and they caught them all the way at Weiss dam last year (so I suspect that was the case again)
We went to Wedowee yesterday afternoon and caught a good many, it was good for that lake this time of year.
