With most days this past week hitting 100 degrees the bite was surprisingly good; hard to imagine but we averaged good numbers and some fair size everyday on the water. The bite certainly got tougher as the sun got higher every day, but I was very pleased with the successful ...

With a few cool nights the bass became real active for me and produced several good fish over the period of just a few days of fishing. It’s just amazing how a little bit of the right kind of weather can change the fishing. We caught good numbers, fishing got better as the week ...

With my truck being repaired from someone hitting it at a ramp and of course the culprit not owning up to it; my report will be somewhat second hand; but have no fear I have it back and will be back on the water next week. It appears the top water bite remained strong and so ...

With the extreme heat during the mid-part of the day being on the water passed 11 am for me was tough on the body. Catching fish early however was pretty good, size was down but bites were good for the conditions, you just had to be persistent and cover water.

...

A big change from the beginning of the week to the end of the week, the lake started out after a few days of cool nights on-fire the bass were feeding and catching was fun. As we ended the week the heat set back in and the bites slowed to a crawl and the bass got back to suspending ...

As is generally the case in late August you can see the heat start to affect the position of the fish on your Lowrance Electronics, the thermocline begins to hold the oxygen and the fish move to those deeper areas of the lake and suspend. This generally means we need some current ...

As we move into August it appears that the fishing on Guntersville has remained strong, there some dead time but for the dogdays of August we are catching good numbers and decent size. The day is limited especially if you don’t like being out in the heat bur for the first 4 ...

With some cool nights and some strong water current on Guntersville this past week the bite picked back up to where it was a couple weeks ago; we caught numbers and some of the best size in numbers we have had in a month. The exciting tale was we had over 15 four plus pound ...

It was and up and down week for us this past week; there were times we caught fish and had lots of opportunities then there were the slow times. The key was the current many days the current was not easy to detect and others it was swift and caused the fish to be active. There ...

Water temperatures in the 88-degree range did not dampen the bite; surprising for sure as I expected it to be quite different. The fish were active, and the big fish were also feeding, we had several 5 to 7 lb. fish this week with the biggest being 7 lbs. 5 oz. plus lots of ...

The heat, bright sun and traffic on the water for the week of the 4th certainly changed the lake for me, most of the week we chased schooling fish to catch numbers the bad news was they were small, the good news; we caught lots of fish; with one exception which we had a great ...

We have finally seen some change in the lake the oxygen levels seem to be getting depleted and the change is affecting the bite; couple that with bright sunshine the last few days and it’s adding up to a summertime bite. Early in the day we have been chasing the top water bite, ...

With the BASS Elite Fisherman covering the lake this week, I believe it slowed the bite some as finding some of the repeating areas of the lake that have been producing seemed tougher. It’s also possible we have finally started to see a summer slow down from the heat but this ...

June is on a tear and will go down for me as the best month in many years on Guntersville; catching is at an all time high and fishing is as fun as it gets. The novice fisherman is having fun and all abilities can catch fish; but you can’t do it from the couch! The bass are ...

It’s just unbelievable that the bite is as strong as it was this past week; my guess is we had a week of cooler temperatures and overcast skies and it really helped the fish. We caught plenty of fish, big fish small fish schoolers they were all fun. It’s turning out to be a ...
