PotomacBassin Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Well on Day 1 it was a rough start. I was rained out until about 8-9 am. Started fishing around 10. I guess with it being Guntersville, I expected to leave with 20 bites... not so much. Ha. It was pretty crowded today but there was always room to fish a nice spot. It was in the 50's today with a calm wind in the morning but the wind really picked up in the afternoon before the storm came through and the chop was getting worse. I had to leave around 3ish due to a big front coming through on the radar and I'm glad I left when I did. In the first hour I hooked up the biggest shad I've ever caught. I was very disappointed though since I'm here for the bass. Caught this on the riprap on one of the causeways. I fished here for a while then went to my A-game.... docks. Fished/Pitched these for a while and finally hooked up with my first Bama bass on a worm. I didn't measure since it was nothing to brag about but I'm guessing around 12 inches (Bad angle in the picture). I was surprised (or maybe not) how healthy it looked for this time of year. I guess that shows how good this fishery is. Nothing on the A-rig. I guess I didn't fish it enough but I feel funny fishing something that looks like some type of UFO. I'll have to give it more time I guess. Tomorrow there is rain in the forecast in the morning and a wedding around 3pm. So I may not be able to fish much tomorrow, but there's wind in the forecast on Monday and high's in the 40's on Tuesday. <sigh> Let's get 'm. Quote
zip pow Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 I fished today on big G also just two bites all day one 6.70 and one 14" 3.14 pound it was tuff both on a- rig on bluff banks Quote
PotomacBassin Posted March 24, 2013 Author Posted March 24, 2013 Yeah I'm going to try Brown's creek tomorrow morning I think. Brown's creek looks like it has a lot of little coves that I usually fish on the Potomac, so I'm hoping they're in there. As long as it's not lightning, I think I can tough out the rain. I read some guide's report online and he said the fishing was awesome today, but everyone that I talked to said they only caught a couple. I guess that's why they get paid to show where the fish are. I did see some guy from the highway with a nice one. It's going to be mighty windy tomorrow evening with 20-30 mph winds and 20 mph winds on Monday. It's probably good that the wedding is tomorrow evening. Quote
zip pow Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Caught about twenty today out of big spring creek on 1/4 trap in gold out of shallow grass biggest 4.8 but a bunch of 3-4 pounders there cruzing the grass edges Quote
PotomacBassin Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Day 2 I had limited fishing time but I was able to catch a few in about 2 hours before I went to the wedding back in Brown's creek and found some really nice areas. Day 3 I had planned to go back in Browns creek again this morning but the main lake was way too rough for me to get back there. However, I did catch my personal best of 6.75 pounds back in Spring creek. She looked full of eggs. See picture. This one warmed me up a good bit but it's still mighty cold. The wind chill was about 30 this morning. I had to come in for an hour to warm up a bit. I'm heading back out for a bit, but I really hope the wind dies down tomorrow. It looks like we came down about a week too early since it's going to hit the 70's next week. It's still been a blast. My wife would be more willing to go out with me though if she could lounge and read her book. Quote
PotomacBassin Posted March 25, 2013 Author Posted March 25, 2013 Well after the wife got too cold on the boat I dropped her off at the hotel and debated on whether to go back out or just pack up and take her out to eat. I decided to go back out for 15 more minutes without her knowing. She wasn't too happy, but it was worth the gripe. Hooked up with an 8.5# on the A-rig. The number of fish with size in this lake is unreal. Quote
zip pow Posted March 26, 2013 Posted March 26, 2013 This weekend the Big bass splash winner was 12.74 next biggest was 10.83. Same guy caught a 10.03 it took a 7 pounder to get a check in the hourly payout that's for tenth place 1 Quote
