Since it was such a nice day out I decided to hit the water with the kayak and doba little fishing. Fished Town Creek/ Belefonte area from 11:00am to 2:00 caught 15 at or shorter then 9", a couple of drum and a lake perch. Water was rising and falling and the wind made it difficult to stay in position on the fish. Lots of boats out and most were catching fish. Didn't find a color they liked. Fish were pretty close to the bottom over the grass. Float & fly and swimming a jig above bottom worked.
Hopefully the photos will post this time.
I drove down to the area you fished Monday Jack about 1p.m and the place was covered up.Did not even try it, went back to 72 caught 8 nice slabs.I notice the fish I caught had worms and looked to me they were attacking the egg sacks.
So now I know who that was in the kayak. That blue bassboat in your picture is mine. We had 25 keepers.
Those perch are great eating! I always consider them a great bonus if I catch one.
Wouldn't mind having a mess of them. Pretty good fighters too for thier size.
Up N they get up to two lbs and they have an attitude when they get that big!!
I bet they do. This one wasn't happy about being hooked at all.
I caught a very nice one there the other day. I use to catch some really nice sized ones there years back when I fished it regularly. There are some bigger ones in there
I hear they are good eating. I have thrown them back over the years.
The yellow perch is good eating for sure. The northern perch love to hang out with crappie ,I normally catch em on minnows fishing tree tops and grassy areas.
I will definitely keep a few next time. Tying jigs this morning and probably gonna take the kayak out and see what's going on today.
Jack believe we saw you yesterday in that area. For some reason I thought you had a blue yak and Eric told me after you left that the white rig was yours otherwise I'd a said hello and asked you a few questions. We caught two of the biggest yellow perch there yesterday that I have ever caught on Guntersville. Crappie fishing was slow fighting all that wind. We were in the G3 Eagle anchored there along the creek channel. We had 32 keeper fish and about that many throw backs as well.
With the red jug
That was me in the red and white kayak. I should have brought the boat. Y'all were in the zone for sure. Slabprowler was there also across from y'all early on.
Bob I told you I have caught some really nice perch in there over the years. The spot you were in Bob has been a hot spot for a few weeks now. I started out there but the water had been coming in and sometimes the other side on the same side of the channel has been really good too. Might have been better that day if not for the wind.
