Anyone got a pic or description of a tool to use to make a hole in a thick mat of hydrilla. I'm just trying to get maybe a 3-4' deep hole in the vegetation so I can drop my bait in it.
I was thinking along the lines of a potato rake, pitch fork, garden rake but they're hard to work with in the water.
Thanks.
How about a video? Whitey Outlaw around 9 minute mark.

Dynamite would probably make a nice hole.
About anything to pull or push them to make an opening.
That single long piece of conduit seems extremely easy to me.
I've seen video's of a couple guy's down in La put a small pitchfork, with the tines bent, on a light pole to move the hydrilla and lily pads to make an opening.
Most of the weeds are surface types, so theres no need for deep holes.
Pretty much anything will work, problem is storing them, especially on a smaller boat.
I made mine from a good quality 10’ telescopic boat hook i bought at West Marine.
I drilled out the pop rivits holding the hook part, and in its place epoxied in a 3 prong hand held garden scratcher with the wood part removed.
It folds up to about 4’ long, and can still be used as a boat hook.
