Mike, hunt us up. Doc Irv and I will be staying in the Chalets in the Park. We'll be getting in LATE on the 18th and be there until the 27th. Any other BBcer's in the area stop by. We'll be in Doc's boat - a blue dual console Ranger. White Dodge Ram if you go crusing throuth the Park. Love to meet anyone in thea area.

Like all the reports say.......keep a rattlebait tied on. My best luck the last couple weeks have been the Red-eye shad in red. Of course I think they'll bite just about any color this time of year. Don't be afraid to throw some topwater, shallow cranks and jigs, but the rattlebait will usually prevail in March. I'll be there Saturday chunkin' and winding from Honeycomb.
Concentrate on the areas from Seibold to Goosepond.

[Bassin31]

I'll be trying aldred islands and honeycomb. This time of year, should I be in the grass or edges generally?
Blue, how's the bite been this weekend?

[kk4iz]

a friend was there Sun. and don't do too good the water had drop alot from all the rain we had last week. But I'll be there Fri. we have always done better on FRi. the fish must know when the weekend get there.

Hey guys, be on the look out for a red/white/black Phoenix 719XP on Saturday. I've got a little club tournament, until 2:30... but would like to say Hi, if ya'll are around mid lake area.

I just got back from a 3 day trip. http://www.bbcboards.net/zerothread?id=653537

I am going Thur. I would definetly also look for pad stems! They love to spawn on stumps and the hard bottoms of pad stems since pads prefer a hard bottom. Might also try a chatterbait as well in the pad stems. If it gets slick and sunny keep senko handy as well. High water or not, they are biting somewhere. Major full moon this weekend! Should be a good bite with some good spawners moving shallower.

Thanks guys, BBC is a great source of info and it's members.
Also, Is there a good bait store in the guntersville area that stays open late, coming in late thurs, and partner is going to need a license.

[bassboogieman]

you can buy them online and print them out at home. I did mine that way.

There is a Wal Mart on 431 that will be open very late and will be able to get them there .

It's nothing to doing it on line. Had to get some for the wife a couple week ago. Didn't have any way to print them out with the Droid X but they give the lic. number and said that would get her by.

Well, went all day fri. and till 3 sat. Got our butt kicked. Caught 4 on fri, and 3 on sat. All in 4-5 ft. in grass on rattle traps. Most everyone we talked to was doing about the same. Was this just a bad weekend for fishing? Thats twice I've been and not caught fish.(went last oct.) Big G isn't been kind to me. Fished in honeycomb, aldred islands, and a little in seibold.

[kk4iz]

WE are with you but a friend that went with us caught about 20 in 10 mins Friday afternoon and that's all they did. We caught 7 or 8 small ones nothing to talk about. Sat got our butt kick with a big Zero. Same here with everyone not doing well. Even some of the locals were not doing well
