Yes they are pulling the lake again and as of 10:15AM on this fine Tuesday morning is has crossed the 826.22 MSL level and headed down quickly. It looks like Wednesday and Wednesday night we could see another 1 1/2" or more of rain again. With that forecast I feel confident that we can go back to Gatewood this coming Sunday with no real fear of ramp issues. The long range forecast for Sunday looks pretty decent with a high of 49 degrees, partly cloudy and low wind (keep your fingers crossed!!). It's definitely winter time, but the fish are still cooperating remarkably well for a lot of people. I would expect the same thing going into this event, so come on out and join us!
The tournament runs from 1PM till 5PM. I will be there around noon to start collecting entry fees. You can usually find me down in the handicap area by the ramp
$20 entry fee ($15 to a 1-5 payback,and $5 to Big Bass), and $10 optional side pot - Winner take all (total weight).
3 fish limit, one dead fish allowed. Big Bass must be alive to count. Team (no number restriction) or individual, you decide what works best for your boat. No live bait. Good sportsmanship and no alcohol during tournament. Pretty simple rules, huh?
All tournaments are held out of Bartow County Gatewood Park: Exit GA-20 exit on I-75 and turn east, Turn south at the light (right from I-75, left from Canton) next to Wendy's onto Spur 20. Go about 2 miles and turn left on Jim Knight Rd., Turn left when it dead ends at the Bartow Beach Rd. (right in front of the COE maintenance yard). Stay on the Beach road and stay to the left past the park Manager's house and follow the signs to the left to the boat ramp
If the lot is full or the pay-box has no envelopes, just let me know and I will give you directions

Almost two inches of rain overnight. Allatoona has started to rise again a fast rate. Up over two feet since yesterday afternoon and still climbing!

Mostly cloudy skies, little or no wind, Air temps around 52 for a high and water temps between 44 and 45 degrees. The water is looking pretty decent around Gatewood up to the Turns around Bartow Carver and around to the Clark and Tanyard Creek areas from the guys reporting today. Fishing was a bit tougher this afternoon and the only thing I could attribute that to is the Lunar/Solunar tables indicating a poor day. Almost half of the field didn't weigh any fish this afternoon!
Those that did weigh had a little lower weight than we've been seeing. out of 26 boats and 45 anglers, there were 40 fish weighed for a total of 60.72lbs, with 3 of those being LMB. Big Bass was a beautiful Spotted bass.
Here are the money spots:
A tie for 5th with Nick and Zack T. and Bob and Jason A. weighing 3 fish each for 4.54lbs, they split $38
4th place went to mark S. with 3 fish for 4.58lbs and $56
3rd place went to Albert and Darren with 3 fish for 4.74lbs
2nd place was Turkey and Joe with 3 fish for 4.75lbs and $75 (pretty darned close weights!!)
1st place went to one of our father and son teams Chris and Adam with 3 fish for an even 6.00lbs that was worth $112 for first and $260 in the side pot!
Finally, another father and son team had Big Bass with a beautiful spot that weighed 3.59lbs worth $125!!
We'll be out there again next week and hopefully they won't pull the lake down too hard this week. The long range forecast is showing some rain later this week, hope fully it will be just enough to keep the ramp open!
BE safe, be warm and don't work too hard this week!
