Thread: Guntersvill "DINKS"

Well I am back from Guntersville Lake. I fished 2 hours yesterday and two hours today. The rest of the time we went shopping and did all the other things in the mountain area sightseeing or just relaxing that the wife wanted to do. I caught 117 fish in those four hours from the bank right by my hotel room. I caught one about every third cast. Most were what I would call "dinks."

93 Gills
14 Shellcrackers
6 bass
4 turtles

The big crappies and shellcrackers were still out deeper than where I could reach from shore. I will be going back in October. Here are a few photos.

The wife and I have been married 40 years this December. She is quite a catch and a keeper. Yes, I caught "Dinks" The weather was really hot and I was limited by having to stay close to shore and close to momma. Still had fun. I love my B 'n' M and my Ugly Sticks. On this trip the B 'n' M was more sensitive to those dink biters. Still 117 fish landed is 117 fish landed. Had a ball. Had to come home a day early due to mother-in-law getting sick and we had to come back.

We,ve been catching some big cats to your left under that bridge by the feedmills. Next time you come into town give me a hollar.

You did good my friend. Dinks are fun also....everyday cannot always be slabs and lunkers. But everyday fishing can be good with the right attitude.

Looks like a nice hotel, looked it up myself after reading your post. I love the places I can sneak out of the room before the wife is up and get my fishin fix! :D

G-3 is right on.... fishin' is fishin' no matter if you are catching dinks or not catching at all. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Great post, thanks for sharing..................looks like a great place to celebrate that
40th anniversary !

Thanks Pat. We would love to go to Hawaii for the 40th or just go to Pidgeon Forge and come back and find a home on a small reservoir or farm pond. G3 found one for me but the park ranger is still living in it.:D:D:D:D

Nice pics Ship,looks like you both had a good time.

Your not going to find one talking about it.....go find one and make a deal pending on the sale of the home you have now. I found lots of lake homes for sale in Alabama on the web the other night. Of course you could always upgrade and move to Mississippi.

Great post Ship.......and thats does look like a great place to stay and fish right outside the hotal
