Fishing on Center Hill has been far from spectacular the last 2-weeks.  I've gone out about 3-times a week for 3 to 4-hours each time with poor results.  Water is clearing and water temperature has dropped from about 85 to 73 during this time.  I've thrown every bait I have and have not caught more than 3-dink.  The lake itself is beautiful this time of year and I always enjoy my time on the water.  Hopefully, things will improve.

Saturday, Sep 12, 2011 - Project Graduation

Dekalb County High School had a Project Graduation fishing tournament, Saturday, Sept. 12 at Center Hill Lake. I decided to fish it as I've been fishing the lake quite regularly, trying to find decent fishing areas. I thought it might be a good test and benefit the students too. Guess I flunked the test.

I caught plenty of fish but only Large Mouth and Small Mouth - both of which have size limits, 15" and 18" respectively. Knowing that going in, I thought I could pick up a decent bag of Spotted Bass, as there is no size restriction and they have been feeding heavily of late. I couldn't even get a Spot to bite and the LM and SM caught didn't measure.

It was only a 5-hour tournament from 8AM to 1PM, I caught some fish, donated the money and headed to the house. Cheers.

Guntersville Labor Day Family Gathering

15-members of the family gathered at Guntersville for the annual Labor Day Holiday get-together. We had the bass boat and my sons new Sea Ray ski boat to satisfy any and all water activities. Everyone fished and caught fish and all the teens and preteens enjoyed tubing and skiing. The rental property was very nice with lots of room. We've already made our reservations for next year at the same place.
