When Will The Grasses Die Down?

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Mallows Bay

Me and my buddy John launched our kayaks at Mallows Bay 24th of August. I caught 3 snakeheads, biggest one was 2.5 lbs. I have a question: when will the grass die down?

DNR Response:Hey Fred, Thanks for the angler�s log post! The grasses will probably start dying out in October or early November. The rate and magnitude could differ depending on where you�re at and how quick the water gets cold. Here is a write-up I sent out to anglers via our constant contact program. It�s just got some hints on < a href="http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/bass/docs/Write-up_Best_Fall_Fishing.pdf">bass fishing from fall 2011. In it, there�s a figure with some information on what folks saw with grasses last year. Good luck out there!
