The grass is definitely making a comeback. 15 or so years ago it was so thick you had to stay in the channels in the backwaters around swan creek-west dike gate area. I use to fish Guntersville years ago and the grass held bait fish as well as the crappie and bass. The back water channels will be easy to see when they drop the water in a couple of weeks. They should hold some good fish. It is aggravating to fish but will definitely improve the fishing.
