i’ll have lunch with ya tomorrow if you need some help chowing down.
Glad you had a good day they are predicting with al this rain everything is getting muddied up.
Looking good! About to get the little toy rod out for the spring.
sure look like Crappie unless you guys down there call them specks.......I was always calling a speck a Speckled (spotted) Sea Trout.

I was happy to see such a great catch of crappie in February from Guntersville. I used to fish there, back in the day.

In central lower Michigan where I grew up, we called them both specks and crappie interchangeably. Of course, we didn't have to worry about anyone confusing them for speckled trout that far inland...
I was at Guntersville this morning and man it was horrible. Soooooo much water everywhere. You couldn't even get under most of the bridges. The river side of the dam was flooded up to the boat ramp parking lot. Needless to say, I did not get a single bite on anything.
I guess what you're saying is that making the trip over in the morning will be an epic waste of time. Based on what I saw crossing the Tennessee in Decatur this morning It will be a while before all this extra water moves down river. There is still water in the fields fields flowing into the ditches that feed the creeks that feed the river. In the last hour Wilson Dam was flowing 206 million gallons per minute. Praying for those in the flood zone.Quote:

we finished our dock at weiss. going to spend a few weeks working remote/fishing. Hopefully the structure out from my point is loaded with blue gill and them 'specks'. When i'm up you are welcome to come hang out and drown a minnow.
