 We got to the Big G. at 8:30am. Fished around & had one on in the first 5 min. on a trap. 14 inch about 2lbs in around 6 ft. of water. Fished on & about 10 min. later BAM. 4.6lbs on the dig. scales. Same thing 6ft. deep, on a trap. 2 casts later & BAM!!! This one after about 10 cranks of the handle decided he didn't want to come any futher & pulled off

. Thats 6 fish I've had do that in two trips, & 4 were in a BFL Sat.

 ...As it turns out I would have another do the same later in the day. I had my drag loose enough, what do you do? We ended up with 9 fish. 3 at or around 4lbs. (4.6-4.2-& 3.9) With a 16inch & a17& 1/2inch. fish to make up our 16.5lb. sack. All but one were caught on traps. The 4.2lber was caught on a jerkbait. In or around 6ft. of water. PS the first time I've ever been to Guntersville & the wind didn't get above 8mph.

 Good to see the sun

2jigs, I was going to suggest that you put a hook on the bait, but Jason beat me to it. emoBigsmile emoUpsmile Are you trying to break their jaw on the hookset? Maybe you should just lighten up a little.emoBigsmile emoGeezer

Great report 2jigs. Did yall find most of the bites in one general area?

BPrice, I'll gladly drink a few CBs with ya buddy.

Looks like I'm going to have to get sick one day next week and not be able to work. Probably start feeling better after taking the day off and end up on Gville. emoCool

DrumKing. I have replaced all trap hoohs. And after pulling 6 fish off in two trips (4 of wich were in the BFL

) I adj. my drag to were the fish can take line with no prob. I am going to change trap rods. The fish are just nipping at the baits & not hitting vary hard at all. A med. rod is a must & never fish with anything less than a med.heavy, but I will now. I just hope the fish & weather hold up through two back to back BFL's. That lake is taking a pounding. But to me it looks like next week is shaping up to be one of the best CFF's yet,

but they're all great.

That's what I'm thinking, flip. As soon as I get over this crud, and get it spread to everyone at work, I'm going to have to take a sick and tired day off, and head to the G.

MK, Flip, tell them you have to go to see Dr. Banks., Dr. Guntersville Lake Banks.
