Member Photo Fumble Has Been RecoveredIt is Wednesday, which means it's the first day of the "member photos" section of the blog to kick off. I have a great photo for you of a great Spotted Bass. I know, I know.....another Spotted Bass. I tell you. People are catching some monster fish around here that are definately worthy of the publicity that a trophy receives. We had a glitch in the imaging for my blog, but it has been worked out. Send me your pictures! braden_arp@yahoo.com
In the picture is Jerrold Cronan holding a monsterous Spot. Jerrold was fishing with his brother on Carter's Lake in and out of the rock embedded coves and points. Jerrold's brother was fishing a Zoom lizard and Jerrold decided to throw a crankbait. He ties on a Norman DD 22 , Bleeding Shad in color, and starts bouncing the long lipped crankbait off the rock walls and working it down the ledges. After a few casts, his rod buckles and Jerrold sets the hook. Immediately, he knew it was a good fish but no one ever expects a 5+ Spot. After several minutes of playing tug of war, Jerrold boats the fish, a 5.8 pound Spot. As if that wasn't enough, Jerrold also caught a 7.9 pound Hybrid in the same cove on the same lure, which was also a trophy caliber fish. A few more of those fish and we will have a new guide service on Carter's Lake.

Nice - I love this time of year. Fishing is only getting better every day, too!
We are in the deep south as you already know and we are fishing several good bass lakes. In the archives is the post from our Lake Guntersville trip with the online editor of Buckmasters. Great guy to say the least.AND A GREAT BASS LAKE!
We are starting to fish some local tournaments on our home lake which is Carters Lake, home of the monster Spotted Bass from the blog entries. It's a tough bite on that lake. Today you can catch them in 12 feet of water on a shakey head jig and trick worm, and the next day you may have to fish them in 25 feet of water and throw a deep diving arm pulverizing crankbait. Love the challenge though.
