Got on the water around noon Saturday. Man is it tough! And, it's especially tough when you miss the morning bite. I caught 2 fish in the 7 hours I fished Saturday. 1 keeper on a snag proof frog and 1 non-keeper on a carolina rig. I found quite a few active areas but with the high bright skies they just would not bite an artifical bait. I don't know wether to down size or keep moving and hope for the best.

The Snag Proof tournament, which I didn't end up fishing, was won with a 3 fish limit of over 14lbs. Only snag proof products were allowed to be used. I don't know who or how. That weight is not real good for Guntersville and it shows that is still pretty tough out there.

Sunday my dad and I fished up river mainly fishing frogs in shallow grass. We had 3 keepers in the morning, one 3.5# on a horny toad, and 2 15"-16" keepers, one on a SP frog and one on a Spro frog. After that it was extremely difficult to even get a sniff from a bass. I think all the pressure is really getting to these shallow bass. Plus, tva backing the water up every weekend is not helping the grass fish. Maybe cutthroat can help me find some fish Friday during my practice for BFL choo-choo super tournament.
 
I saw a bunch of guys at a Ruby Tuesdays, on my way to the races in Huntsville, that were fishing a two day Tournament on Guntersville. Most there were very disapointed. Some had no fish at all.

Hopefuly the fishing will pick up next month or sooner. Personaly, I'm going to waith a while before I go fishing again or I will end up selling my boat and all of my fishing equipment.
 
I tell you what... that's why I have such respect for you hardcore bass guys. SEVEN hours and two fish.... I just couldn't do that. I'd be off the water, or switching species in two hours. Now some would call you crazy... I call you dedicated. Of course I know it's not that tough all the time... but when it is and you keep emoBang, that takes something special. My hat is off. emoBeer

You should have been with Jon The Fisherman and me on Watts Bar in the last tourny. 7 hours with two slicks. Now that is dedication as we should could have went to his house and took it easy.emoLaugh
