The short term forecast for Gadsden, AL is continued downpour of 4lb and bigger bass.  To put it simply, the fishing is out of this world right now at Lake Guntersville.  The weights are unbelievable!!  The top 50 cut sits at 20lbs – 11oz; 20lbs even puts you in 64th place out of 99 anglers.  Todd Faircloth leads with 31lbs and the 12 cut after day 1 is currently held by Rick Clunn with 25-14.

Sounds like most guys are working a shallow shad spawn bite early and following the fish back out a bit as the day wears on.  But guys are reporting catching them about any way they want to.  Faircloth reports catching most of his 31lbs by 8am and throwing back 20lb limits in the afternoon.  Aaron Marten’s Marshall reports him catching 130 fish, many other anglers talk about sorting through any where between 60 – 200 bass during the day.  

Sound like fishing has slowed some today, but i have heard reports that KVD has over 23lbs, A-mart 25lbs, Velvick 27lbs, Faircloth 20lbs as of this entry.

So my final question, how did 3 guys not weigh limits when other guys are calling catching 4 pound fish Stupid Easy???
