There's a BASS Masters tournament here and there a lots of bass fisherman like this in the area
Me...on the other hand...choose to fish like this.
Check out the GPS sitting on the seat...this is what I use to find the cool coves. It works great. This is also the one that has XM weather on it which I use when we're cruising.
While I'm fishing...this is how Deb spends here time. Does this look relaxing or what?
This is where I call "the back of the boat" and where I spend most mornings...writting these logs...and many afternoons on the phone making slip reservations. In this case I was unsuccessful at getting in where I wanted to go.

Location: Goose Pond Marina, Scottsboro, AL
Weather: 61* and very foggy; forecast is for 85* and mostly sunny
Cool and foggy this morning...I took a walk over to the bait shop (they open at 5) and had to wear my blue jeans. After a bacon & biscuit, and talking to the bass fisherman (there’s another BASS Masters fishing tournament here) I came back to the boat. I also took a few minutes to get out my fishing pole and walk up and down the dock to try my luck at fishing...but the fish aren’t biting on anything I’m offering.
Yesterday...it was a near perfect day. Both the weather and the day. It was a picture perfect sunny morning. We cleaned the boat early and I went over to the bait shop and got my fishing liscense and a couple of lures they guaranteed to catch fish. At about 10 I jumped in the dinghy and went fishing for an hour. At 11 we packed a lunch and a cooler and headed out to South Sauty Creek...which turned out to be a large lake. My guess is that before they flooded this area this was a creek (the very narrow channel was about 17 feet deep) and then when they flooded it, a large lake was created. It was very pretty, and a great dinghy ride...we put about 20 miles on the dinghy. Along the way we stopped at a couple of places so I could try and catch a fish...no luck. You can see from the pictures that Deb was also enjoying the stops, because it gave her time to read her book. Back at the boat we both relaxed and enjoyed the nice weather, and I worked on some advance slip reservations. Dinner was a small salad as we watched the latest episode of Raising The Bar...good program.
Today...Deb is planning to use the courtesy car to go to the grocery store and I plan to do a couple of PM projects on the boat. I am also hoping to take some time to go bass fishing. It is supposed to be 85* today...very warm for this time of year. A cold front is due tomorrow night, and supposed to drop the temperature about 10 to 15 degrees, and get down in the 40’s during the night.
Tomorrow...after 4 nights here, we leave Goose Pond and head down river. Not exactly sure where we’ll be staying yet...I need to call at 9 am this morning to see if we can get in at Ditto Landing (we stopped there on our way up river). If not...I have another option in mind in Decatur, AL.
I’ll keep you posted.
