One for Bama on his beloved G-ville
To save time, I copied my thread started from another forum, Lkg4deer is a neghbor and fishing bud here in Georgia. Friday evening after work 7-2-2010 we had a "wild hair" inspiration and went to G-ville. Below is the "rest of the story".
John, I hope you enjoy this because it was right below your old house across the river from Roseberry. Robert Haas (Lkg4deer) and I left about 7PM Friday evening and drove to G-ville and fished all night and half a day on Saturday. We did NOT fish the ledges! lol! We fished for pad fish and size. The pads we fished were relative to the channel and we fished the side away from the channel. Black and Red spinner baits were the ticket through the dark hours and 10" worms (with about 1" bitten off) during the daylight hours on Saturday. The wind blew all night and on Saturday morning so the topwater bite was non-existent (a few blow ups but no hookups). Our total was about 15 fish with only 2-3 that were under the 15" mark. Below were the best fish of the trip. There were a number of fish between the 2 and 3 pound mark that we didn't take pictures of. Here's Robert with the first fish of the night, between 3 and 4 pounds. This is the one that convinced us to concentrate on the spinnerbait! Here's another in the 3 pound class by Robert At this point I was catching slightly smaller fish and Robert was muscling in the bigger guys. Then Robert raised the bar again with this 5 pound 15 oz fish Another view of her Finally the sun came up and the spinnerbait bite fell off, but the fish were still in the pads. We managed a few fish between 14 and 18" then I stuck this 5 lb 1 oz fish Things pretty much died off after that and we pulled out of the water about 11 AM CSDT and headed home. I ain't so sure I can do those marathon trips too much anymore! lol! After working all day Friday, then fishing all night and half the next day, and driving 2 1/2 hours back home, I had leg cramps off and on all night Saturday night! LOL! I survived and it was fun. My only regret is that the wind blew all night and pretty much dashed any hopes of the buzzbait and frog bite in the pads. #thumbsup#

Nice for sure, but doesn't come close to what I used to do on Fork, Ray Roberts and a few other fine waters in the DFW vicinity! I miss my home waters in Texas!

If you have a lake with some decent pad fields close to deep water you need to give it a try. Ironically, the daytime pattern on Guntersville right now is fishing the river channel ledges (There is an article in Bassmaster Magazine this month on Boyd Duckett's ledge pattern). The fish are ganging up on the ledges. C-rigs, Jigs and Crankbaits are bringing in huge numbers. If you want to have the lake to yourself (albeit a few other folks who like the dark like you) and improve your odds of catching some of the better fish right now, then night time Lily pad fishing is the ticket!

Looks like an awesome night! Nights like that don't come often, and we remember them for a long time when they do.
Good looking BassCat too!

John, if Lisa is anything like Esther the first bat that flew into her rod would end your night fishing trip abruptly! lol! Those little leather wings were out there all night. We had them hit our lines, our rods and buzz our noses a few times. The anchor light would attract a few bugs whenever the wind would ease up for a second and then the bats would be dive bombing those insects immediately. They have never bothered me except for when I'm running down the lake, I've always feared having one smack me in the head or somehting. It has never happened and I think the fact that thier echo location capabilities help to keep them out of harms way.

Looks like you had a pretty good night Bob! I've never done well on Gville at night - dont know why.
I will be up there in a couple weeks. I know we talked about going fishing sometime earlier in the year, if you have time I'd love to get a few hours out there with you. |

Sounds like a lot of fun. I don't think I could pull an all nighter like that, those were for the younger years....
Oh, nice looking Cat you have there! |
