Man..I really needed this trip. <br /><br />I haven&#39;t been able to fish for some time and had a &quot;window of opportunity&quot; and a need to fish this past Monday... my buddy SPOON came through with an invite for a quick trip and I jumped on it. We met up at the local bait and tackle around 12:30 and hit the H2O around 1:00 (SPOON insisted on buying some store-bought-candy and I&#39;m GLAD he did). We put the boat in at the TVA launch near Guntersville dam(TVA is generating and spilling HARD)...we headed downriver and after exploring a creek and talking football for about 30 mins(War Eagle, Danny emoPoke )we started drift fishing a point or two that Danny had heard should be good with high water. We worked out 3 decent smallies, 2 stripers, a few spots and a couple of whites(and of course..a drum). All fish were caught on shiners and spoons. Thanks for the invite Danny!!!! <br /><br />smallies ranged from 3.25 to 4 lb.s...stripers were around 4-5. (with one 5 inch juvy caught )<br /><br />
