Back from Guntersville (Report)

[cooter 33]

Owski I'll be down saturday. Staying at days inn. Im from crestwood also. Thanks for the reporting. Sounds like the mouths of the creeks are a good starting point. Are they holding near the vegetation?

Well I will put it this way. If your trap did not come back with gobs of grass hanging on it, you were not in it enough. I was ripping the trap through it extremely hard. As if you were setting the hook with a c-rig. Then I would throw the slack back at it and let it fall. Real up the slack and rip again. When you would rip it, you would actually set the hook. They would hit it on the fall.

Finding the right grass was a huge key for us. It had to be "green." Almost as green as your lawn gets in the spring. Finding the "snottgrass" or the "stalks" did not work for us. Use your graph and look for grass. Then fish it and see what it is.

That being said, I am sure there are other patters as well. I do know alot of the guys that did not catch fish this weekend were not throwing traps.
