Date Fished: 9/13/2008

Water Temperature: 82
Water Clarity: 2-3 feet

Got out on Guntersville this morning. We weren't looking forward to the forcast: 10-15 mph winds and bright sunshine, but figured going fishing was better than sitting at the house all day. Fished from 6:30-2:30.

I was really hoping that the weatherman was wrong and it would be calm and cloudy, but no luck. For once, the weatherman was right and we never managed to find very many active schoolers, which I hold the wind totally responsible for, lol. The lake was packed! There seemed to be several tournaments going on, with no shortage of patch pirates (wrapped boats and shirts full of patches), ripping and roaring all over the lake, even with gas well over 4 bucks per gallon. Obviously, I'm in the wrong line of work, lol. We managed to stay within a few miles of the ramp all day.

Anyways, We had a decent trip. We boated 40+ fish, with big fish was right at 5 pounds. We caught a couple others between 3-4 lbs, and several 13-18 inch fish. Best 5 around 18.5 lbs. Baits of the day were money minnows, spinnerbaits, and various soft plastics fished in scatterd grass, depths of 2-8 feet.

Picture quality kinda sucks, had to resort to a camera phone.
