I could have used some of that current on Miller's ferry this weekend. Zero current and wind plowing up river at 20mph makes it hard to catch catfish.

Today's release is over 124,000 at G dam. I expect it to remain that way all week.

Define offshore. Main river ledges or humps in Alreds or just not beating the bank?

One of the best days fishing I've ever had was in May on Gville. We threw a 3/4oz spinnerbait on a main river ledge all day for 23 lbs. I'd love to go do that again.

What's the water flow been recently? I don't follow it much and frankly can't quantify the Corps measurement in my head.


ETA: Just checked the TVA site. Yesterday they were averaging about 30K hourly. Today they are averaging 120K. That's a big difference. Any of you Gville guys know where that will position the fish?

I know our forklift ramp is underwater at the shop. I was trying to put a boat on the trailer and it looked like whole islands floating by. Current was pushing 4mph this afternoon.

How will this effect below the dam at Wilson? Will there be a lot of water there too?

Yes, there will ba a LOT of water there. Spillways will be open. Wilson is not a very big lake so there's no where for the water to back up like Guntersville. I read today that Kentucky Dam was already running 1.1 million gallons per second thru their turbines and started spilling more as the big flow will be there by Thursday. Closer to us, Florence Harbor and golf course will be flooded by Thursday


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

They ran over 160,000 cubit feet per sec midday today, suppose to be mid 130,000's rest of the week.

haleyville al,
Clark if you go keep a eye out. If you haven't been on the river with water moving like that. It can get ugly fast. I've seen trees with the root ball floating by that only surfaced for a second or two and went back down. Also bouys is will be under water.

I have to be at Kentucky Dam Village State Park this weekend for an event. It's pretty incredible to see any dam open and blowing water, but KyDam is huge and it's wild when the gates are open there.

I guess it was three years ago, maybe, when it rained so much and the lake rose to the point that water was going over AND through the dam up there.

Anyone on the river this week or weekend, be careful.

It's not the water moving so fast - it's all the stuff in the water that's moving with it. Trees and dock parts are unforgiving.

Please be careful.

I've been on smaller rivers with water like that. I'm pretty sure I'll keep my butt at home. I can fish the lake for a week until things get back to normal. I've got a big tough boat but there's no need to take unnecessary chances. Stuff can happen quick.Thanks buddy!

With all the eelgrass in G'ville, maybe some will break loose, then catch and take hold in Wheeler. Lord knows it could use some help with some kind of vegetation.

I got the director of Alabama Fisheries coming to speak to our club sometime in the Fall. Why does Wheeler suck, is among many questions we have for the guy.

You can't tell me with all the chopping and boats running and all that, that SOME grass couldn't get thru the dam and find it's way to the flats and start growing? Whatever herbicide they used to kill it has some REALLY good residual effect.
