COLD! Best describes Friday and Saturday on Lake Guntersville. I fished Friday with a client from Knoxville, TN and it had to be the coldest day I have fished in several years. The eyes on the Falcon rods froze up all day long and at one time the entire boat was covered in sleet. We focused on areas ranging from 4-8ft of water from Waterfront to Goosepond. We managed to land 6 bass (all keepers) on the Xcalibur Xr50 Rattle Bait (royal red & ghost) with the biggest 5 weighing about 16lbs. Saturday a friend and I fished the BITE tournament out of Goosepond with hopes of getting quality bites. For some anglers they did just that but not for us. 26+ lbs. was first place and then there was two bags over 25 pounds that took 2nd and 3rd place. We finished in 15th place and received the last check with a disappointing 14.94 lbs. Good to see old friends and clients from East TN again!
