5-17-09 Late report
Decided to go fishing last Sunday for a little while. Thats it, it was a little while and it was unproductive. I fished out of Coon Creek found some good spots but couldn't put any in the boat. Decided to run up the creek that feeds Coon which is Flat Rock creek. I trolled most of the way up and fished but the water was at least 8-9 deg cooler than the river. Lots of bait in there but no takers. This will be a good spot when the days get hot and the fish are looking for cooler water.

Fishing Report for 5-5-09
Decided I was going to try and fish all day long today after I dropped my girls at school but one of them forgot her backpack. This sort of put a wrinkle in my plan but I decided to head to a different spot on the lake. Got to Comer Bridge and it was covered up for a Tuesday morning. Looked out to where I wanted to fish and the back water had some white caps. Headed over to Jackson County park to put in there. They are still cleaning up but it was some kind of bad over there.
Put in and idled thru the no wake zone and had no idea where to start. I wanted to fish the main river but it was rough and very muddy. Surprisingly Roseberry was lot clearer than the river was, except in the shallow water it had a slight stain, just enough to where you couldnt see the bottom in 2-3 ft of water. The wind was blowing across the creek so I went riding around looking for a spot to fish. There were a couple Pros in there with wrapped boats so I tried to steer clear of them.
Pulled in to a small cove if you even want to call it that, with all the rain we have had the water was up into some trees and further out. First fish came out of about 4ft of water in scattered grass. She hit the Booyah spinnerbait hard when I wasnt paying attention. Good solid 3.5, 4 lb fish. Fished the same streach of the cove chasing shad around. Boated 9 more keepers in the lil cove (when the water goes down there won't be but one way in).
Moved around the creek all after noon hitting spots here and there. Ended up moving out to some deeper water when the sun came out but couldnt fish long so I couldnt get on the deep bite. Even in the deeper water shad were being busted but it looked like white bass.
Water temps varied from 72-74 and that varied with depth. Stained to dingy water in places. I threw a spinnerbait most of the day and all the fish came on the spinnerbait. Caught 15 in all with the biggest one in the pic. Rest of them were all small keepers, never could get the big bite. The first spot this morning must have been a small school cause I was catching them just about every cast with the spinnerbait. Only got to fish 3.5 hours so I will take a day like that rather than sitting at home. Had to take the pic with my phone.

The Daily Sentinel
I just read an article from an apparantly misinformed person about the spraying of Roseberry creek. The "Roseberry Rescue Group" a manaical group of Greed stricken landowners around Jackson County Park would like to eradicate the grass which makes Lake Guntersville so famous. Jackson County Commission, please do not allow the idiots of the Roseberry group to destroy OUR LAKE...
