Abstract: The present disclosure provides fish attracting systems and habitats. The fish attracting systems are designed to mimic sunken grass-like vegetation that will move and wave like other aquatic vegetation, for example, hydrilla or milfoil, in order to attract fish, provide a hiding place for fish, serve as a location for fish to attach their eggs and provide a food source for the fish. The fish attracting systems are also designed to mimic one or more lily pads that are buoyant and are designed to float, creating shade underneath.
