Shelvin Rock

[exiledguide]

Got to Shelvin Rock about 10.00 AM went down downstream below swimming hole to the long hole. Started fishing about 10:30 fished there until I:00 caught about 20 smallmouth largest was only 13" but a lot of fun. Used a 3" BPS Stick O on a 1/0 BPS wide gap worm hook with a 1/32 oz worm sinker,a Tiney N crank bait ,a Chartruse Shad 3" Gulp alive minnow and a Zoom watermelon red flake worm texas rigged with 1/32 oz worm weight. The river gauge at Boaz was about 2.5' so I was able to able to wade easily and the river had a good current. I couldn,t catch the size smallmouth I expect from that stretch of the river but it was an enjoyable morning on the river. There were more canoes, kayaks air matresses and inertubes than I have ever seen on that part of the river so I figured I was lucky to catch what I did. I also would like to compliment everyone I saw on the river because I didn't hear any profanity and most of the people ask if it was O K to float on by me.
