WIlson Lake, 7-3-2006, Bprice and Burger

[Bprice]

Hit Wilson Lake this morning... Started out in the back of creeks fishing some Willow Fly hatches. Saw lots of fish breaking... fished popr's, and dead sticked them... threw grubs, finesse worms, etc... no takers. Moved onto deep boat houses and seawalls, and this was money. We boated several fish, mostly keepers... lost a few more too. Burger nailed a spawn recovering Largemouth that weighed in at 4 lbs 10 oz, surely would of been 6.5+ lbs with a full healthy belly, look at its head! Caught several nice smallies as well. All keepers on the seawalls came on spotstickers with Netbait finesse worms. We fished with our fairy wands (spinning reels) all day... which I must say I'm not to comfortable with.

Moved onto lake points, and missed a few fish on jigs, I got my first DD22 fish of the year... Got all six hooks in the mouth, totally nailed the bait.

Pretty good day considering there was little to no current, and water temp maxed out at 89 degrees!!! Best 5 probably went around 10-12 lbs.

Beautiful day to be in Alabama... Thanks for the lessons Burger.

Finally after a entire weekend on the lake, fishing every day for 8+ hours, I was so tired I just passed out on my bedroom floor, I think the picture is hilarious.

Maybe that sweet potato could rival a corn dog in fish catching ability??

I know how ya feelin Bprice. We went to the bar last night (the preacher & I). He's over 50 & not slowing. I crashed on the way back to Harrison from watts bar. Don't rember the ride back. Wife say's I can't hang with the young bucks & the old men are too crazy to keep up with. Just caught some wheres in between I guess.

Don't let Bprice fool ya, he sure wasn't tired because of the fish he was catching!!!!!!

Where were ya at this morning, Bprice, G'ville was just calling your name!!!!


Cooperjd and I joined Burger and Bprice on Wilson Lake as well. We didn't fair quite as well, I caught 2 slick LM and Coopperjd caught a keeper KY. Highlight of the day for me was getting NAILED by a drum on a dd22, I just knew for sure it was going to be a 5+ lb smallie but no luck!!! Carl
