The Gulf of Guntersville

That's what I started calling the river after we'd been there about an hour. She was rolling this afternoon! It was probably not a real smart idea to go out in the first place but we fared just fine. We didn't fish in the dangerously rough water. We fished in the barely dangerously rough water. LOL I've never been seasick but I did get a little dizzy while fishing. I have never bobbed around so much in my life. They had 14 out of 17 flood gates open and the turbines were on too.

We went in search of Sauger but ended up catching 4 nice crappie and an abundance of White Bass. Most of the White Bass were pretty small but we did catch maybe a dozen good ones.

We fished in the locks for about 2 hours to stay out of the roughest water but it was still pretty rough. After that we went down river and caught a good many fish down there.

Man they have been spilling forever. Is it ever gonna stop. Been wanting to go down there for weeks but every time I go to TVs they say it’s spilling. When I read the title I lol’d. Figured you were talking about browns

More water on the way! I guess they trying to get rid of it before the other hits ! More water than I want to be in !

I've been down there (on the bank) when they were pulling water hard and there was a very strong wind blowing upriver. There were waves rolling down the river that you could surf on. It looked like the opening of Hawaii 5-0 or something.

And there's a giant hippo in the water.....:Rofl

Probably going to get worse before better as far as gates being open. Fished the back water this morning and its as high as its been all winter. Last weekend it was almost 2 ft lower than it is now and with the call for 80 to 100 percent rain over the next 2 days ,Id say the gates open are here to stay for most of this month. Sorry you didnt catch any Sauger as this use to be prime time for them when we had a fishery for them .

Yeah if we get 2-3" of rain as predicted, they're gonna have the flood gates open for quite a while.

This weather has been a pain. It's not even good hunting. Be careful out there guys, it can be dangerous this time of year

It’s hard to get any good fishing time in when it rains every Saturday. Does this make 3 in a row or 4?

Well I'm off work to hunt and I may have had 4 days it wasn't raining or hot. On one of the hot days I almost went fishing but the river was muddy. I hope it get better next week I got a road trip planned

Watching fake news and they said gonna be a wet December

been in bigger in the blue water...it ain't much fun either...but it's fishing,,,beats WORKING!!!

Glenn, If you get a hot day and want to fish, come up to Guntersville. It may muddy up for a few days after all this rain but last week I could see my jig 5 feet below the surface of the water.

This rain will shut the delta down for a while and if it keeps up possibly till spring or summer but I guess I am getting old, I am not depressed yet [emoji849]

Tony it's gonna shut down a lot of stuff for a long while. I haven't checked the rain gauge yet but I figure we got close to 3" of rain. Rain is predicted for 5 of the next 7 days for us. I love winter but wet winter isn't my favorite.

Water muddy, Cold , wind blowing, no college football for the next couple of weeks. Really boring time. Spent saturday piddling at bass pro. Looks like my next fishing will be week after Christmas in Cocodrie.
