Not much change this past week as fishing remains spot specific on Guntersville; if you in the right spot at the right time you can have a great day. If not your casting and not catching and hence searching for that right location.


As far as bait selection ...

Guntersville remains very spotty, as being at the right place at the right time seems to be the theme that continued last week. The change is that everyday we are seeing more big bait balls gathering in the back waters especially late in the evening; giving a strong feeling ...

Make no mistake about it the lake is going through a tough period, where being at the right place at the right time is key to success. We’ve gotten into a period of extreme late summer heat and its taking its toll on the number of bites your getting. Luck is key to a good day; ...

The good the bad and the ugly, the cooling temperatures helped, the east wind didn’t! Have no fear though changes up and down the weather scale will help improve the fishing every day. I believe we will have one of the best falls in many years as there is lots of fish.
...

It appears we are heading into a cooler period than normal with night-time temperatures dropping into the 60’s; this should bring us an early frog bite and move the fall fishing ahead of some of the past seasons. Look for the fall bite to bring us some great fishing earlier ...

Make no mistake about it, fish are being caught and mid-August isn’t bad at all, in fact 10 to 15 fish for a 4-hr. trip is a pretty good hot summer day. Now that you back to school and planning some time off Guntersville can offer some summer time fun!


Baits ...

If you have done some scanning in the past couple of weeks you will have noticed that the Thermo-cline that had the fish set at certain depths is gone. The result is the bass have moved and are now at different depths then they were when the thermo-cline was easily recognized ...

There’s a couple of ways to overcome the dog-days right now one of them is to be the guy on the lake at night, the other is to do some boring flipping into the heaviest grass. Neither of these turn most fisherman on only the toughest enjoy night fishing and the most determined ...

We saw some late afternoon water temperatures at 90 degrees putting us square in the middle of the dog days of summer. The bite this past week certainly reflected the dog days; bites were at a premium and patience was the key to a successful day.
The challenge was keeping ...

Water temperatures are above 85 degrees and with the hot water comes the slowing activityespecially the bigger fish as oxygen is at a premium for the remainder of the hot summer. Theother side of that is the smaller fish remain active giving us plenty of schooling activity duringthe ...

As the heat goes so goes the fishing, we have reached the summertime heat and fishing is just ok you must keep moving and searching and really focus in on your bites. Don’t leave your bites until you are sure there isn’t more of them, work your areas thoroughly and move on only ...

I’ve always believed that the full moon hurt the day time fishing the day before and after the full moon and this past week proved much of the same for me. The bass feed at night during this period and we saw a slow down for that 2-day period of the full moon. Have no fear as ...

Don’t under estimate the power of some rain and overcast skies to push the bass back into a feeding frenzy; when the rain came the bites got even stronger. There is no doubt Guntersville is back to its good-old-days and this summer is proving the long-awaited return to the top ...

After 3 months of just fantastic fishing the heat is slowing the bite some, its still very good but the numbers of bites are not there as compared to the past few months. Have no fear though as some things a getting better, the grass is growing, the fish are schooling up on ...

There’s no doubt that the lake came back this past 10 days the bite is on, the lake is on fire and catching is as good as its been this year and maybe for many years. You just can’t deny the results there are lots of bites, big fish and schools of fish throughout the lake. What ...
