Let me ask this question...

What is buck brush really good for? Yes, it is good for flipping and makes good cover for bass. However, I would have to disagree that bass spawn in it. Not sure what the logic is on that idea, but any bass I've ever seen spawning was on a hard bottom and where sunlight can shine down on the nest. I've seen many that nest up around medium sized rocks.

Also, what evidence do we have that the buckbrush cannot sustain an extra month in water? Is it possible that new growth farther up the bank might result?

In regards to our existing grass that continues to flourish (finally), wouldn't an extra month of water on the flats promote more aquatic vegetation growth or not?

Not saying I'm right or wrong on these ideas, just wanting to see what everyone else thinks. I'd like to see some factual evidence that supports either side before making any decisions on this issue....
