That's not true. Some of the best years on G'ville lake were after the massive weed die off. I can remember people yelling to high heavens how bad Guntersville was because the weed had all died. The fact is, it may make it easier to catch/locate fish for fisherman, but the lake was just as healthy after the weed died off as it was when it was there. I can remember Auburn/TVA or some group roping off areas and letting fisherman fish the now "DEAD WEEDLESS AREA" for a couple hrs. Always the same results, the fisherman would fish and not catch anything worth while because the fish just "weren't in there like the used to be" Then they'd move in and shock the area and loads of bass would float to the surface, big, small and everything in between. There is no doubt that vegetation is healthy to a certain extent, but it's not the end all be all of Guntersville Lake.
