Other thread was getting long so I decided to start another one. Went yesterday afternoon for about 2.5 hours. Caught three fish. My spots are finally out on a flat I fish chasing shad. But, the stripe are not with them. Fished some grass off river side and nada. Went into couple sloughs and for the hell of it I tied on a ribbitz. Caught one and had several blow ups and short strikes. Guys up town fishing the week day TXs are still catching 3-5# LMs from what I hear.

I did see something alarming though. Grass has completely closed a slough off for three homeowners. This slough is about 500 yards long. I would be calling APCO everyday until someone came out to spray and kill it all.

I would LOVE for the Coosa lakes to have grass mats like Guntersville. I know Lay has "some" grass, but it's still not the same. I would also love for Wedowee to have smallmouth, while I'm asking for ridiculous stuff...

Jordan has a pile of coontail on it. So does Yates. While it's not milfoil or hydrilla, it still serves the same function. Lay had a bunch of it in places.

First slough on left past Tommy's, center slough. Massive tan house on right point. Breaks my heart to see the slough like that. That is where I grew up.

Man, if I'm not mistaken, that slough is deep too! It's shallower in the mouth, but the center/back of that thing has close to 20' depth.

No, I should have said going up river. LOL. All three fingers of that slough have filled in 2 feet since the water dos not go down in winter anymore.

Last year the whole back of Tommy's nearly matted over. There were a few small mats, but mostly the grass (appeared to be milfoil) just topped out and clumped. I caught a lot of small fish in there one afternoon.

Lot of coontail was in there last year. Growing up, lillypads were in the back of it. I used to use a tiny torpedo and catch them in the middle of the day. The creek going back to the bridge used to have stumps on it too. But, like so many other things on Neely, are under 2-4' of silt.

There will be areas of Neely that become inaccessible by boat over the next several years. It silts in bad there.

Because APCO does not do a winter draw down to let the creeks, sloughs and fingers clean out of silt. If I were some of these people that lives in these $500K houses in a slough overrun with these grass matts I would be coming unglued and raising hell with APCO and the Neely Henry Lake Association. They are the biggest reason the water is up during the winter now. Said it would increase the recreational value of their property. Well, it did for a while but if you cannot get to it because of the grass, how's the value now??????????????

We fished Sunday morning from daylight to 11:30. Put in at Canoe. Started in the grass and could not get a topwater bite but picked up some spots and 2.5 LM on the edge of the grass with shakey heads. No swim jig bite either. Moved a couple of places just killing time until water turned on at 8. thought the bite would pick up for us but it didn't. I let a good one get off from a shakey head under a pier and got a couple more small fish on isolated cover from shakey heads and that was it.

Has anyone been in the last two weeks? I am gonna try and go this afternoon. BFL was there this past weekend and 19# and some change won it. I have been told fishing is tough right now.

On another note, went with by Dad and nephew to Choccolocco creek last Friday to try and catch some stripe. There were NO shad hardly other than small fry. We searched for 2 hours and nothing like usual Dad said. Stripe were not there either. We caught a few spots and catfish. Disapointing to say the least but got to spend time with Daddy. Don't get to fish with him anymore because of my work.

I was hoping to go this afternoon myself. Probably going to put in at canoe. I'm really just wanting to play with the Ultrex. If you see someone in a black aluminum ranger, holler at me.

I did not get to go, too many things to do. I may try Friday afternoon though. Depends. Got a good friend that has asked me to cruise his timber. But damn, it is TOO HOT for that. LOL.

JR, did you get to go?

I got a late start but I did go. I found a few fish near greensport and near shoal Creek. I fished the grass in big canoe for the last 30 minutes of the day, but I didn't catch anything in the grass. I played with my electronics and trolling motor a good bit. I hate to, but I may have to go back for a few hours on the morning of the 4th. There were a few roadbeds closer to the dam that I wanted to graph, but I just ran out of time. Good luck Friday if you can go.
