Greg Gilley And Cory Head Win Guntersville

The Three Top Teams

1st Place : Greg Gilley and Cory Head both of Boaz fished in three places on the lower end of the lake, but on the main river. Using a slow retrieve and ticking the grass with a custom painted Bomber in the crawfish pattern, that Greg Gilley paints himself, in 6 to 10 feet of water. With a total weight of 18.51,they were able to capture the title and take the lead for the N E Alabama Teams.

2nd Place: Steve Dick and Shane Dick both of Albertville and the owners of C & C Fencing were able to put their profession and livelihood to good use by corralling a limit of bass that weighed 18.03. They also fished on the lower lake in the Spring Creek area. With the threat of rain and thunder all around the lake seemed to make their fish bite, when it cleared up the fish cleared out for them. They used a 1/4oz black & gold Bill Lewis Rattle Trap in 2 to 7 feet of water in the milfoil.

3rd Place: Jerry Wells of Flat Rock and Ted Carlton of Scottsboro defending their N E Alabama Teams Angler of the Year Title, get off to a good start weighing 17.86. The day was slow for them with only 8 bites all day, and the fish they had located in practice had left. They fished up river and stayed on the main lake using a Bill Lewis 1/4oz chrome & blue Rattle Trap in two feet of water.
