    Default Finding past tailwater levels for Guntersville?


    Is there a place online to look and see what the tail water level below Guntersville was on a date in the past? On the TVA website I can only find the past 48 hours of info. Specifically looking for the 2/2/19 level.

    Thanks for the help. I'd already looked at that. Today at noon there was somewhere around 16 feet difference between the reported tailwater level at Guntersville and the reading at Wheeler dam, so I don't think it's as simple as looking at Wheeler levels when the flood gates are open.

    Yeah knew that measurement was at lower end. Hoping you might could still use it. Still amazes me that there is such a big level difference between say Arrowhead and Sportsman Park.

    I don't know where you can find the infor you seek but I do know that there probably is a 16 feet difference based on how low they have the water above the Gville dam as of this past Saturday vs how much they are still pushing thru and how high it is in Wheeler right now!!

    It was 566.7 this morning. That still high enough that the walkway at the north side boat ramp is underwater. My boat got pushed up onto the rocks a little while picking up my son after he parked the truck. Bent the bracket on my Mega transducer on the transom. My son got his shoes soaked so we had to make some makeshift foot blankets out of extra clothes. We found tons of fish and caught one Drum, 2 white bass, one blue cat and my son had a hook in Moby Dick but the hook couldn’t hold him. We single poled jigs and minnows and Long lined and caught nary a crappie. They were there. I could see them on my Livescope. They were incredibly spooky. Couldn’t get anywhere near them with the TM without them scattering.

    I won’t be back until it drops 3-4 more feet and I did save a note on my phone regarding the tailwater reading today.

    I told you that livescope would make you mad. Did you see that Drum on there?

    I didn’t see that drum. I did see a long nose gar that I could positively ID. I have the grid lines turned on and they are 5 feet apart. The gar was around 4 feet long and I saw a group of 4 fish swimming together that were all 3 feet long or so. I don’t know what they were. Whatever Brock hooled was big. He never turned it and I’m not sure it ever knew it was hooked. I didn’t run it just swam slowly until it was gone.
