My bass buddies love it because it grows deeper than the hydrilla and mil foil does . After a big wind had been blowing on the lake it breaks off in a million strands and depending on where it drifts or blows will basically shut you down if you are at the wrong causeway or bridge from the bank. TVA has traditionally drawn the lake down to kill some grass but it never got this low that i can remember ,maybe way back in the early 80's when we went thru 3 years of drought. They have kept 8 to 12 gates running below Guntersville almost all late fall and winter. Even as I type this they have a few still open although its under 10 now.
I know many bass guys that even hate the eel grass.
