What y’all got. I ain’t been in weeks but am on furlough this week and if I get my hotfoot fixed, I am gonna hit it. Seen some pics of some good heads being caught.

No replies can’t be good drake! From what I’ve heard and seen it’s been toughhh!

16 and change to win the aba last weekend, yes, it is bad!

We won a wildcat tournament there Saturday before last with 13.86 (also had big fish of 4.12), and there were some legit fishermen in it (I think there were 42 boats). I was surprised that weight won.

Our club fishes there this Saturday. I went this morning and fished till about 8:30, only caught 3, but two of them were 4+ pounds
There is a major shad spawn occuring, but frankly I didn't see any fish activity around it at all, and it had nothing to do with the fish I caught (at least not that I know of). Grass looks puny so far, there are fish in it, but it's just weak and mossy in most places.

I saw the Tuesday morning derby took 17, then 16, and 3rd was 14. Somebody's on em.

We had a small club tourney there last weekend. Think they dropped the water 4" during the day. 11 lbs won it. Two of our St Clair County people. They had 18 lbs the week before.

I saw the crowd Saturday that put in at the rbc ramp. Also talked to one guy fishing the aba and around 1230 he only had 9#. What did you heads hit on down river?

Just to report, I fished 3 hours and zeroed with only one hit off chatterbait. Full moon and cold front killed it for me.

We fish from Canoe in the morning again, I'm expecting it to be slow early, but who knows. There's another derby out of Rainbow that'll have about 20 boats in it.

Anybody fish any bass tournaments over there today? How did it go? What won? Big fish?

Small north Alabama club tourney, we won with 17.85, all spots, had a 3.65 and 3.60, also took big fish.

Took 18-1/2 to win our club tournament, 17-something was 2nd, and I didn't hang around long enough to know the rest of the results. I think we had 41 boats, several bags in the 12 to 14 pound range. We only had 9.59, all spots. We just never caught a fish from the grass all day, but many other folks said that's where all theirs came from. I suppose it was just chance of where you went. Listening to the chatter at the weigh-in, folks caught them up and down river, main river and creeks, and all sorts of ways.

I noticed something interesting... all the "sticks" in our club struggled, and the bigger bags were from teams that usually don't do well. Our last year's champion had two fish, not even a limit. The guys who won our first tournament, and finished 2nd in the last tournament, only had 9.61 (all spots). We talked and seemed to have the same experience, they didn't catch a fish from the grass either. We actually didn't catch a largemouth all day, regardless of where.

Somebody has them figured out. Sure as hell ain't me!

Heard there was a big tournament out of city docks today? Anybody know any details?

Anybody been?

I went this morning. Caught (4). Two of the four were very small. Very muddy in a lot of areas.

I have not been. Plan to couple afternoon this week.

Haven't been to Neely since that tournament a few weeks ago, but Logan has been pretty good to me. I fished a little while Saturday and Sunday afternoons and honestly you can catch them doing whatever you like. Now I haven't caught any BIG largemouths, but I caught a handful of grown spots over the two days. They have been rolling some current!!

Anyone been in the afternoon? Gonna try and go today.

I was in Shotgun Sports about 30 mins ago talking to two retired guys (pretty good sticks), they fished it yesterday morning and said it was awful. Granted, that's morning time, but I heard the same remarks from this past weekend.

It is that time of year where things can suck. I did not go yesterday but am today. Honeydos killed me, lol.
