Guys

I am fairly new at fishing the gulf waters around KJeaton and Steinhatchee. I have had two different people tell me to fish the rock grass in the creek mouths and on the flats. The rock grass is not the tall skinny stuff that grow on bottom is it?? I saw large areas of some underwater bushes that had small acorns or something on the branches...is that rock grass? I caught fish around the bushy grass...the skinny stuff is everywhere. Does anyone know the scientific name for rock grass so I can find a picture of it? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

THANKS

There must be at least 100 names for this bush that grows in the northern saltwater of the Gulf.. We call it "Christmas Trees. Sure is good cover and excellent to fish around. Trout love it.
